    Do you think pressuring impressionable children to chop off their genitalia is some form of discipline?

    Feel free to provide a single example of this happening.

        Nearly 52 percent of parents described being pushed to transition their kids
        The survey of 1,655 parents, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, found that more than half of the parents who were referred to gender therapists said they felt directed to put their kids on medical treatments or change their wardrobe. The responses came from parents of children who identified as trans, and who were concerned that the decision was more to do with a mental health issue, social media and peer pressure than a genuine discomfort with their gender. They were part of an online group called Parents of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria Kids. Rapid onset gender dysphoria is part of a controversial theory that the sharp rise in trans-identifying youths is a social contagion

        So you have a Christian faith website, the Daily Mail (for the aforementioned quotes), Open The Word.org (?), and it’s links to parents disagreeing with doctors.

        The only one with any teeth is the Feminist Current, which links to the BBC, and has legitimate concerns.

        Clinicians reported worries that some patients were referred onto a gender transitioning pathway too quickly.

        No-one had irreversible surgery, they had puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, both of which are quickly reversible.
