Their rationale — that some dad and mom would abuse their own children if they came out as trans, and therefore it’s wonderful to mislead all dad and mom — doesn’t wash. In the uncommon instances where abuse might be an situation, there are higher methods to defend children.
Lying to dad and mom, by omission or otherwise, is unacceptable.
