While we have no idea at what level the child identifies with her chosen ‘orientation’, where these people have gone so wrong is - instead of privately indulging her preferences for feminine play/clothes etc, they took the massive further step of sharing the whole experience on social media.

How can a very small child know their true orientation until after sexual maturity…this is why transgender clinics are now refusing to give puberty-blocking meds to under age people because it doesnt constitute informed consent.
