There is only one rational answer to this question.

If the child is suffering from severe gender Dysphoria, there would be legal grounds for it, yes. The legal definition of child neglect in my country (FL, US) does not require any specific pattern of behavior. Parents are expected to attend to the mental health of thier children, and trans care specifically has been introduced to mitigate suicide risk. It can be a serious mental health issue.

The principal question is: would it be reported? Plenty of parents abuse thier LGBT kids, causing permanent mental issues and even death, and get away with it. The likelihood that anyone would identify and report this hypothetical trans kid being denied care is low.

Should there be a specific law? I don't think so. However, should we train school officials, social workers, and medical staff to recognize and act on this sort of abuse? Yes. This would lead to better outcomes (the parent's behavior being corrected).

Americorps, baby! Get those positions with applied housing. I guess I'd make use of shelters and the local library first.

The great performative irony of the death penalty is that the swiftest, most merciful death is that by firing squad, but it looks violent and brutal and so increasingly cruel and elaborate alternatives are sought.

That's pretty cool. This is one of my favorite games on PC. Recently, I've been replaying it on the steam deck. It's not a very heavy game, and works well on a mobile platform. I can see it being reasonably playable on a touch screen, too.

Whenever some asshat conservative announces something like, a Holocaust museum affected me and changed my perspective, I want to strangle them, shouting, "I have literally understood the significance of this issue since I was a child. Stop dismantling our planet for 5 minutes and educate yourself."

I see dall-ee image gen is making steady progress.
