The last paragraph about leaving the old worldview behind and rebuilding from the ground up sounds exactly like how I felt when I left my religion. And I don't think that's a coincidence.

Also the requirement of friends and family to fully approve of the transition or they lose all contact with the kid is very culty.

I feel that way about having left Catholicism, too. (Sorry to hear you had to go through that experience, too; I still feel like I haven't fully processed mine.)

It's always crazy to me how many parallels there are between religious groups and trans ideology. The only thing missing is an explicit belief in a god. TRAs basically believe in souls, they just call them "gender identities."

Yes. My first thought.
