This story rubbed me the wrong way. Growing up I had a neighbor friend who's mom was convinced her son was trans because he liked to paint his nails and was a little effeminate. He was my best friend and told me he felt his mom was more excited about him being trans than he was, he didn't know what to do and confided in me how he felt not right. The mom moved away when his dad accused her of having Munchhausen Syndrome and she felt he needed a new environment, he killed himself when he was 22. He tried to de-transition but the damage was done, even at his funeral the mom mad it all about her, it was infuriating her sisters mentioned she showed him off like some fucking trophy.. Sorry for the buzzkill but venting actually made me feel alot better.
