Does anyone else think it is absolute insanity for a parent to be so homophobic that they would rather give their children harmful puberty blockers or hormones just so they can be in "straight" relationships? Your child isn't even likely to "pass" for the opposite sex, so you're forcing them to put a half-hearted costume that will cause years of emotional and physical damage.

    According to the reporting of staff concerns about the NHS GIDS, parents, not all but enough to be concerned about, were definitely homophobic with some expressing a preference for having a trans child (who would then be "straight") rather than a gay child.
