This is a very serious and multi-faceted topic that I will try my best to explain my current stance on it. Apologies in advance if it comes across as scattered.

I'm not a parent, but from talking with and observing many parents and child psychologists, I'm of the opinion that pre-teens (and even in some cases teenage) gender swapping/transitioning, especially when encouraged by the parents is poor parenting and yes child abuse.

Some children identify as fire trucks and other non gendered objects in early ages. Sexuality in general is an odd and oft debated topic, especially in the contemporary. The data suggests that people's sexual identity and preferences are dependent on their parenting and how their male/female parental role models behaved with each other and towards the child.

For the record, Charlize Theron, is a single mother with two adopted children, divorced from her husband, living in a specific area of the US that comes of a great deal of scrutiny for it's controversial opinions. Take of all of that whatever you will.

One last point, transitioned individuals (adults, teens and children) often suffer from extreme depression, regret of their decision, and are at high risk of suicide.
