BTW, is this where we get out our links to positively insane parents of "trans kids"? Because I've got a real doozy.

Meet a woman whose son demands "they" pronouns, wants to transition, but has no real dysphoria. The reason for the "trans" shit becomes clear when you see how mom reacts to the 18 year old "kid" not wanting to act "fabulous" any more:

Mom and insane kid who has huge behavioral problems live alone together, mom is his literal only friend (and the son is her only friend, too). So after a few days, the kid reads the "missing my rainbow" post and ...

The mom uses the kid's anxiety and alleged transness as an excuse to ensure that he never has to leave mommy's side. Pulled him out of school even though his academic accomplishments are next to nil and he'll never get a job with his current education level, goes along with every whim. The kid demanded special pronouns only after mom started an internet relationship with someone using special pronouns who was clearly grooming the son. Mom and 18 year old son have long and medically inaccurate discussions about children's genitals:

“Has your thoughts about your gender changed at all?” I asked hesitantly.
They shook their head. “I still think gender isn’t real, well society’s version of gender. I still believe in science’s version. People start out with basic bodies of male or female.”
“Well that’s not really science,” I pointed out. “That’s society’s version. Science is a lot more complex-”
“But people are born with either a penis or vagina,” they interrupted.
“Not exactly,” I replied. “People are born anywhere from female to male or in between. Doctors look between a baby’s legs and if what’s there is under an inch, it’s a girl with a clitoris. If it’s over three inches it’s a boy with a penis. And if it’s in between then the baby is intersex and the doctors try to guess what the baby is. They either decide it’s a really small penis or a large clitoris and, if it’s a clitoris, they’ll cut it down to size.”
No mention, of course, of the fact that clitorises don't have urethras, or that a child being born with indeterminate genitalia is actually considered a medical emergency by neonatologists because things like (for example) undescended testes are big cancer bombs and developmental problems can signal other issues.
Now, mom's losing her only internet friend because of her problems living in the real world. Will this result in her backing off and letting her kid gain independence? LOL, fat fucking chance. I think this one has some real chance for some milk, too, since she loves going off on tirades and crusades against "haters" of all types.
Oh yeah, btw, this mom's got a daughter, too, who doesn't live with her because she accused the son of physical and sexual abuse. Mommy's sure her trans baby couldn't hurt a fly, though, so his rages and overtly sexually creepy behavior are viewed as harmless expressions of identity.
