The road to hell really is paved with good intentions. These parents are literally driving their gender non-conforming children over a cliff. This is erasure of perfectly normal children who are a bit weird and will grow up to likely be perfectly healthy lesbian girls and gay boys. The trans community has ruined the lives of children.

I really, really don't like the implication that being GNC as a kid means someone's going to turn out homosexual.

It's creepy to discuss the sexuality of kids, not to mention rather sexist (and possibly homophobic) to insist that gay males are inherently feminine and that lesbians are inherently masculine.

Let's not do that.

Kids don't stay kids though, they grow up and they explore their sexuality. By taking away the ability to do so we are doing untold damage. The research shows that the vast majority of kids with gender issues tend to grow into LG or B adults. We may not know the mechanisms of this exactly. All I know is that almost every gay man I know talks about a childhood wherein they displayed some "feminine" traits or interests.
