This is fantastic if it's being accurately reported. I know some people, friends of friends, who have socially transitioned their kids and it's genuinely fucking disturbing. They are so damned pleased with themselves about it, and receive constant praise from their social groups for what wonderful parents they are. These are very young kids, 4-5, who are at the age where they just believe whatever their parents tell them, and all I can see is children having their heads messed with, so their parents can feel special. My son is a few years older and when he was that age I let him watch whatever age appropriate cartoons, play with or dress up in whatever he wanted. He had a baby doll, play kitchen, even a Barbie and a few My Little Ponies along with his cars and superhero stuff. But he never thought he was anything other than a boy who would grow up to be a man. Because he never is anything other than a boy who will grow up to be a man. I really can't understand why some parents are gleefully fucking up their own kids like this.
