2020s: Affirming kids in their trans feelings is child abuse as its probably just a phase. Once they grow up and get used to being what they really are it will be fine.
1970s: Affirming kids who say they're homosexual is abusive as its probably just a phase. Once they get a bf or gf it will be fine.
See how that works? Be authoritarian with non-adults, disbelieve them and frustrate their expressed desires. Who is the "abusive" one here?
The truth is, disallowing kids access to their trans or LGBTQ selves is the most cruel form of child abuse possible. Here in Utah where book banning is growing by the day (and they're all books with LGBTQ themes or characters) - I see how kids are growing up brain dead with braces on their brains because of the horrific result of not having representation available to them. I guess they can always read the bible, surely there are perverse incestuous passages or descriptions of murder in there anywhere. Right?
