Not helped by politicians who are accusing the *affirming* parents of child abuse. There's a very strong message being sent to parents of trans/NB kids right now that the best (and possibly only, on pain of risking losing your child) course of action is disaffirming and conversion therapy.

We need to counter that as much as we can by educating people, by helping them understand gender dysphoria as much as the average cis person can (Yes, cis people can get social gender dysphoria...) By helping them understand that they don't need to be a barrier to their child's happiness.
