This was the link the Anon was talking about. I haven’t watched the video yet so can offer no opinion, but would be interested in discussing it here.
Anon’s question was: Do you think some of these parents who are so eager to “transition” their kids could be suffering from Munchausen by Proxy? I believe the answer is “yes.” These parents (and their enablers) will protest that they are only doing what their kids want, but that is also poor parenting–as anyone who has raised young kids knows.
The suicide card is then played to shut up any and all opposition to this trans kid trend. Here, I will preempt anyone ready to spam my inbox with the usual tiresome hate by sharing these two links. Please take a look.
The first is one of the many excellent posts by transgenderreality.com, which documents the insidious and ongoing indoctrination of young people into the cult of “transition or die!”:

The second is a post I wrote earlier this year in the wake of Blake Brockington’s suicide:

Having now watched a good part of the linked YouTube, I don’t think most parents of kids with gender dysphoria are likely guilty of the classic form of Munchausen by Proxy, which involves deliberately causing physical injury or illness to a child, resulting in hospitalization or even death. So I am hesitant to draw an analogy between the horrific things experienced by the woman interviewed on this show and parents who have fallen under the spell of the trans kid trend. Interested in others’ reactions.
