    Some of them apparently are that homophobic, at least according to the recent BBC report.

    We did have a lot of families and parents who would actively tell us that, "oh, I'm so glad at least my child is not gay or lesbian," implying that having a trans outcome would be better for their children.

    I think that is also part of the woke cult. Being trans is higher on the ladder than just plain old gay; your kid is ONLY gay or lesbian, how passe'. The people that are ok with their kids being gay are going to be super excited that their kid is trans. They'll be the awesome parents of they/them and brag about how well they/them is doing with all of their newfound interests, friends, etc.

    Also, how many of these parents absolutely fear being called transphobic if they question their kid being trans ? You have to take that into account when discerning their motives.

    Lesbians still get LOTS of shit in schools and are usually found at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

    In this day and age, becoming trans or enby is a means of upward social mobility for a lot of young lesbians. They go from picked on or ignored, to the most popular kid in school...
