Under your definition making my kid eat his vegetables is child abuse. He's certainly suffering. Taking away my kid's tablet or turning of the TV is also abuse.ÂÂ
I've posted research indicating that kids who are supported in their gender identity have no difference in mental health outcomes compared to the average population so where is the evidence that supporting a child in their identified gender is causing enough suffering to be child abuse? Pushing one or another gender on a child, sure, but that can go either way. If you don't support a child in their identified gender and instead tell them "no you're a boy" when they say they are a girl you are being pushy just as much as someone who pushed their child to be transgender. I am arguing that supporting a child in their decision is good, regardless of age. Help them figure out who they are. Calling such parenting child abuse is honestly disgusting.ÂÂ

Would you support a child in their decision to bungle jump (if it were legal) would that be what they want to do. Would you support their decision to drink alcohol, smoke weed and do other drugs would that be what they want? Perhpas join the army, a lot of kids want to do that early on, go to war and shoot guns. Should the parent support them in this or is it bad shit insane until they cone of age...

Comparing a child wearing a dress despite being born male to a child drinking alcohol or potentially dying, shows to me fairly clearly that you think that non-physical transitioning as is being discussed here is damaging. This is a position that you have still have yet to support (while those disagreeing with you have supported their positions). Making these comparisons is utilizing a false dichotomy to support a line of thinking that you still have not supported without devolving into fallacies.
