Women who wanted a daughter but had a son push the boy to act like a girl for approval, instead of having another child to have a girl.
Social permission for the fetishizing of the female form AND ability to dress as a woman / be treated as a woman while retaining sexual attraction to women. The cross-dresser says he’s trans but keeps male plumbing (fewer than 1/4 have the organs removed), but he’s otherwise normal because he retains sexual attraction to women; LBGT tolerates it because he now counts as a lesbian. That’s why there is such an uproar on “transgenders”, whether he’s a mentally ill man biologically intact sexually attracted to women or a pervert claiming to be such, you’re letting men who are attracted to women in spaces segregated for the privacy and safety of women.
Yes, it sounds like "Mom" has screwed up this little boy for the rest of his life. From the linked article, there's a comment about the child "praying for (his original male identity) to die and be taken to heaven." Sounds to me like gender confusion pushed by the parent resulted in a split personality. Truly, this is child abuse and should be punished as such.
And the war against women rages unabated.
