It is 100% abuse. Some of these children are young enough that they don't know they shouldn't stick random things in their mouth, yet we are going to go with the premise that they are mature enough to know they aren't the sex they were at birth? Come on. Children have incredible imaginations and say and do some crazy things, but that doesn't mean we need to reinforce every thought in their head. Children have to learn that Santa isn't real and that they can't be a real superhero with powers, so they need to come to grips with reality in this topic, too.
And this isn't even taking into account that children go through phases. Maybe a boy is curious and tries on his mom's clothes. It is absolutely abusive for the parents to start putting in their heads that that means they want to be a girl and have gender dysphoria, so must start taking hormones or have surgeries. It's no different than the despicable parents of that 11 or 12 yr old drag kid who they had stripping in a gay club and taking pics with a naked adult drag queen. A lot of it seems like the parents wanting to get brownie points with others in the radical Left.
Now, if that child becomes an adult, say 17/18 (at which point they are mainly finished puberty), and still feels that way about themselves, then by all means they can do whatever they want to their own bodies. They get no hate from me. But, it is wrong to get these kids doing something harmful to their bodies before they are actually mature enough to know exactly what they want and how they feel. Things that can not be reversed 100%.
