As long as it's the child's wish, it's no abuse, but instead actually very beneficial. If it's done later on, The body is already producing the wrong hormones, making the change very difficult, while done early, it's not just much easier, but the child won't look like the other (old) gender anymore.

Refusing it to their child can be very detrimental for them, getting bullied for it (which happens in 99.9% of the cases; children can be cruel) won't help matters either, both effects taken together possibly scarring them for life.

Poor child.

Question: if a parent ignores their child who claims they are transgender and forces them to dress as a boy when they would rather dress as a girl is this also child abuse?

Could be considered mental abuse depending on how far the parents go, so potentially yes.
