These people want to be in the Wokerati sooooooooo bad they can taste it. They'll even wreck their kid's mental and emotional development to do it. She first steers the kid away from the dresses, then relents and lets her wear it all the time, even when playing outside. How about "When you play outside, put your play clothes on so you don't ruin your dress. You can put it right back on as soon as you come in and clean up." How fucking difficult is that ?

It's kind of Munchausen syndrome by proxy - these parents want attention so must have Very Speshal Kids - note that a lot of the parents ( and -sorry - it is usually mothers) of trans kids are very LOOK AT ME themselves.

Narcissistic parenting. (one of the few remaining helpful communities on reddit is r/raisedbynarcissists) it's classic, just the method is new. I was raised by a narcissist--I was "marketed" into academics, but I was born in the 80s. So glad I wasn't born a few decades later and my mom didn't happen to want a son.

There was actually a study done on mothers of transgenders, I believe it mothers of TiMs, that found a high % of a specific disorder. It could have been Borderline Personality Disorder. If I find it, I will post.

Another study found that TiMs have a much higher % of personality disorders than the general population, with the most prominent being Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
