What a horrible thing to say.
Children are born all the time lately with neuro-sexual defects. What the hell are you blaming parents for? We don’t know what yet causes it. Even if we find out it was soft plastics the mother had been exposed to her whole life, we might be two generations from being able to prevent a uterus from containing them. A six year old girl today might have been exposed enough to cause problems in her future child 20 years from now.
Sexual brain and genitalia “malformations” (for want of a better word) are REAL. They happen during a very small window, maybe as small as a week, of early fetal development.
And if your response is, well, I blame the parents for “transitioning” their child, please understand the average American couple, surprised to find their three year old boy only wants to wear pink and purple, and only enjoys playing with my little ponies and barbies. What are they to do? If they seek help from a doctor or psychologist, they will be told that the ONLY thing to do is to “transition” the child. There are no other “acceptable” (by these official boards) treatments.
None of this is the fault of the loving parents.
I see you live in California. Stay there.
A kid who has not yet reached the age of puberty, and who does not actually know what is the difference between male and female, suddenly decides to be the opposite sex, and you don't think the parents put them up to it?
How is a kid to know what the opposite sex is at that young age?

I think genetic defects that confuses "gender" are far more rare than are occasions of liberal parents Munchhausen syndrome-ing through proxy their children.
This is an example of what I am talking about, and there are far more of these sorts of examples out there.
Here is another.
