What's disturbing is there are far more than just that list. The two I've seen and heard of aren't even on this list. Here is a great article about them.

One of the storylines (about the young FTM from "Good Girls") was especially horrible in my opinion. In the episode where she "came out as trans" to her mom, her mom hugged her and said to her "I always wanted a boy."

The line made me so angry it made my face burn hot. How many young girls have heard that their parents wanted boys? From that line of dialogue, I feel like as a viewer, I can assume that the mother hasn't done a great job of hiding that preference from her daughter who is now saying she's her son. It was infuriating.

Hmmmm, a parent who "always wanted a boy" and a child who desperately wants to be a boy... I wonder how that came to be...
