The thing is that not everyone is perfectly confident in what their gender identity is. Maybe the kid isn't trans, so what? Nothing permanent was done here. Allowing a social transition is probably the easiest way to figure out this kid's gender. Furthermore, coming out to somebody who you are dependent on is scary even if you don't believe they are bigoted. Parents have power over you that friends or even teachers don't. That makes it inherently risky.

It doesn't really matter if you call gender dysphoria a "mental illness" because the only proven cure is gender transition. Maybe some cases go away on their own but there is no way to un-trans someone who is decidedly trans.

Outing someone as gay or trans to their parents is one of the most vile things that you can do, and it's reprehensible that so many on Atlas want to force schools and teachers to do this.

It's honestly incredibly insulting to gay people to insinuate that their inborn sexual orientation is equivalent to a confused autistic/mentally ill teenager struggling to find her identity. Considering gender dysphoria, unlike homosexuality, is a mental illness, parents should absolutely be in the loop when it comes to how to treat the condition. And that's when it's even an accurate diagnosis, which I am highly skeptical it is in this case.

But you know, to some people virtue signaling to fellow "woke" people online that they are on the "right side of history" (so they -- I believe falsely -- assume anyway) is more important than the actual mental and physical health of children. Clearly.

As a gay person it's actually not incredibly insulting to compare sexual orientation to struggling over gender identity. Please don't speak for me and pull me into your obsessive hatred.

There is documented history of homosexuality in virtually all societies over thousands of years. Why isn't there a similar history of transgender children?
I don't know about specific children off the top of my head but, Roman emperor Elagabalus was probably trans.
