I know you all want to celebrate this but the actions described here are horrid. I'd be horrified if someone told me they did this to their child, especially since it seems that part of the issue for her was "emo-goth vampirism" as an aesthetic choice. Nowhere does she say she tried to help her child with the root issues that led to feeling dysphoric. Maybe it's my bleeding leftist heart or having been raised by a mother who understood only obedience like this one, but I'm sure all this kid is learning is what to tell her therapist later on in life.

This sort of behavior also ties perfectly into the running narrative that any parent against their transition is pure evil and just wants to control them.

A strong mother who takes action when her daughter is threatened is to be admired.

the root issues that led to feeling dysphoric.

She did! She cut her off from the online programming.
