This is what America's "child welfare" systems call a success story: A family is victimized by a false allegation of child abuse. After they are cleared, they miss one doctor's appointment for their child, so they are accused again. After authorities "carefully consider" their situation, they are referred to a prevention program while constantly monitored.

I get it. You worry about your child when they don’t fit into the binary of sexual attraction. You worry for their safety, their acceptance, their well-being. That you worry is reasonable. That makes you a parent. However, the answer to resolving your worry can’t rest on seeking to change your child so that they fit into the binary. In attempting that, you inadvertently become emotionally and psychologically unsafe to your child.
