Is Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy the Cause of Parents Pushing Kids to Become Transsexual?
h/t Instapundit
[BrassPills] It seems almost inconceivable that a good parent would simply accept it when their small child claims to be a different gender.

...It is beyond belief, especially since 10 years ago, across the political spectrum, almost no one would have gone along with this. There haven’t been any great scientific discoveries or reasons that this makes sense, the political winds just shifted and half the country, including to their eternal shame, many teachers, government officials & psychologists, just went along with it. This has created a situation where schools are actually promoting being transgender to kids, who then go along with it and go to a psychologist who feeds their delusion and then the government comes along to stiff-arm anyone who suggests that they might be making a mistake.

This is despite the fact that 40% of transgender kids attempt to commit suicide and the number may arguably be HIGHER among people that have mutilated themselves via surgery. This is despite the fact that 70-80% of kids that think they are the other gender at some point, later change their minds.

Today, when I was doing the Jaz McKay show, Jaz suggested something brilliant about the parents of these kids that I had not thought of before.

He suggested many of the parents pushing this idea on their children may be suffering from a new type of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.

    Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) ‐ or Munchausen by proxy ‐ is a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver through those who are in their care.

    MSP is a relatively rare behavioral disorder. It affects a primary caretaker, often the mother. The person with MSP gains attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in his or her care. As health care providers strive to identify what’s causing the child’s symptoms, the deliberate actions of the mother or caretaker can often make the symptoms worse.
