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.

Some parents probably find it easier to deal with there being something wrong with their child (i.e., "born in the wrong body" and so on) than to admit that their child is gay. Homophobes have always treated same-sex attraction as a personal fault
