I blame the "you can't be anything you want to be!" parenting style. No, no you can't be "anything you want to be".

When you're so woke that allowing your 11 year old child to make major and irreversible medical decisions is celebrated.

But after listening to Abigail Shrier's interview with Joe Rogan (she's the author of the book discussing transitioning among young girls) it seems that these parents honestly believe that they have to go along with this nonsense because otherwise they are risking suicide and depression in their children. Also, they're afraid of the backlash from the woke brigade if they don't toe the line. And the medical professionals aren't telling these parents the consequences of these hormone blockers... not that we actually know what they are because there isn't enough data for conclusive statements. It's a scary medical frontier.
