You know... science (anatomy) and all of that.  Of course with liberals, science only matters when it comes to global warming climate change.

If only they'd thought of that..  All sincerity..  you have a child..  you love this child..  they are born with male parts..  they tell you from the time they can start talking they are a girl..  

You just correct them. Okay..  When it doesn't work, then what?  Do you stop loving the kid? Do you try to get them help?  Do you discard the kid? I'm being serious. Do you force the kid to wear clothes that makes them visibly depressed and uncomfortable until they ultimately kill themselves or become drug addicts as a way to deal with their sense they are not accepted and don't belong. Society is going to tell them this anyway. Do you as a parent pile on? Or do you have the courage to love your kid as they are and take all the [BLEEP] that comes along with that? 

You're making this a conservative/liberal thing.  It's simply a parent/child thing.  

These parents never asked for this. There is science at work here. You can explain it as a naturally occurring event which has existed since the beginning of recorded time. You can explain it as a mental disorder. You can remain ignorant and call it demons. 

But do you ever stop and accept that this is the same kid you loved from the moment they came into this world and truly accept them as they are?

Plenty of parents don't.  It might be different if it was your kid. It might not. This child has two living sets of grandparents who want nothing to do with her. And her parents need to explain that to her. This child has been forced to move in the middle of the night multiple times because of violence in the areas they lived in (liberal strongholds I might add), simply for being transgender. People hate this child without ever knowing her name simply because she is who she is. 

And people like you can decide to be willfully ignorant to what being transgender truly means because it doesn't directly impact your life in any way. You can be another angry stranger throwing real or metaphorical stones at this child who is such an abomination in your eyes because she doesn't fit the norm. What a [BLEEP] tragedy. How dare she. As if she has any choice in this whatsoever.

I don't doubt you about your friends or what they chose for their child at all.  That's their decision.  I will say that I raised 3 children and do have a grandson.  He has no doubt now at the age of 8 which bathroom to use.

However, a 2 year old child doesn't really know the difference between "boy" and "girl".  At that age they barely know how to speak and use the restroom instead of their clothing.

It's just my opinion, but if "parents" are allowing their children to make life-changing decisions at 2 years of age, the problem lies with the "parents".
