The reality is still that the kid doesn't get any medical treatment other than talking to professionals right?
I honestly don't see the problem with that. Let the kid live however they want and figure it out on themselves. If in time they want to transition, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine too.
in one perspective, sure. in the other this kid just lost the devil (or angel) on his shoulder, and is only left with the other. his mom got custody, his mom believes the day is an abuser. so his father loses all influence. his mother will no decide how this kid ends up, at least for the foreseeable future. do you think that this kid will dare to tell his mom he's no trans after his mom went through a massive legal battle to oust the father than give him the right to express as trans? not a fucking chance, the kid's 7 and wading into waters he cant understand.
i only use he/his/him for consistency. in reality the kid could be trans, i just dont think the courts and system are set up to find that out accurately. i think they're designed to be as non-resistant as possible. and in the case of 2 parents that disagree that's problematic to me. if 2 agreeing parents want to teach their kid to be trans, or in reality cue in on an effeminate personality of a young child and make the call that they are likely trans and then enable them in that path, fine. it's a free world to me. teach your kids whatever you want. cutting out the dad is what i dont like. unless more facts come from someone other than Viv about how this guy is abusive.
