    I’m sure you could find examples. There are plenty of cases of mentally ill parents forcing their kids to act like another gender throughout history, I would be surprised if we never had such a parent go further and forcibly medicate their children as well – we have examples of parents medicating their kids to keep them sick for attention, this isn’t that much different.

    With that said, I would assume this is very rare, but definitely not impossible.

      Maybe I misstated; they don’t care whether there’s an actual case, let alone if this commonly happens, as long as they have something to rage at.

        Idk I guess it depends on who they is. I have family members that I believe still think rationally but that think this is a huge issue, and as far as I can tell it’s because they’re getting mislead on the percentages of cases where straight kids are getting abused and the severity – propaganda is very powerful.
