a far more interesting (in my view) article on a related topic is this one that reports the story a 14-year-old-girl who wanted to commence hormone therapy to transition to being a boy. the hospital asked the father to sign a consent form. he refused. the hospital said they didn't need his consent anyway, so he took the hospital to court and the court stated that:
"attempting to persuade [his daughter] to abandon treatment for gender dysphoria; addressing [his daughter] by his birth name; referring to [his daughter] as a girl or with female pronouns whether to him directly or to third parties; shall be considered to be family violence under s. 38 of the Family Law Act."
exerting parental control over a 14-year-old child is now considered "family violence." that is where we are on this issue and it is not going to get any better any time soon.
