The bottom line is, you can’t convince a child to “act” transgender.
Every time I come across an article on social media about children who are, I see the same accusation in the comments — some ignorant bigot yammering on with their faux concern and nonexistent medical knowledge, claiming that parents of transgender children are guilty of Munchausen by proxy.
This most basic definition already doesn’t fit as a descriptor of the relationship between a parent and their child who is transgender. Mainly because a person who is transgender ismentally or physically ill. Even gender dysphoria — the distress a person feels due to the mismatch between their gender identity and their sex assigned at birth — has beenitself a disorder. Dysphoria is treated simply by affirming a person’s stated gender identity.
More from the Cleveland Clinic: “FDIA most often occurs with mothers—although it can occur with fathers—who intentionally harm or describe non-existent symptoms in their children to get the attention given to the family of someone who is sick. A person with FDIA uses the many hospitalizations as a way to earn praise from others for their devotion to the child’s care, often using the sick child as a means for developing a relationship with the doctor or other health care provider.
