You're already getting hostile? If you go through u/OPPRESSED_REPTILIAN 's post history you'll find him arguing with users who claim that, but if you can't be bothered I can dig up some links.

Making shit up strikes me as far more hostile.

I also recognize that parents wanting to transition their kids because they believe that GNC behavior is an indicator of being gay and want to "fix it" is a problem

I mean the answer's right in front of you and you said it yourself. Parents are transing their children based on the perception that GNC behavior is an LGB indicator. It doesn't, of course, matter if they're LGB or not, and GNC behavior is not a guarantee of LGB, but the point is that it's massively problematic that the possibility of them being LGB is stigmatized to the point where transing them is seen as an acceptable means of "curing" that. It doesn't matter if they're actually LGB or not.

I'll say this again, just to see if it sinks in this time: literally nobody sane is claiming it's possible to tell the future sexuality of a child just from styles of play and dress. You're basically making up a strawman argument here for god knows what reason.

Wow, it's almost as if you copied and pasted that from my response to you.

People are claiming that; the proof is easily accessible, but if you want to be ignorant I don't fucking care anymore.

"The proof is easily accessible!" [posts no links]

Good luck with... whatever issues you're dealing with that are causing your wild misperceptions about all of this.
