Rather depressing that there are so many such cases. Maybe a hopeful sign that so many parents of transkids are speaking out against "trans and gender ideology".

ICYMI, a couple of articles on the topic at Quillette:

The problem is a transphobic mom, not gender-affirming care.

There is nothing more transphobic than knowingly failing trans-identifying kids

Can I assume that your comments concern new “standards” being considered for a 8th version or do they pertain to existing version, #7, released in 2001? Many thanks in advance!!

These comments refer to the proposed 8th version, which was woefully inadequate. WPATH opened it up for public comment. This was mine.
