Of course, the parents are likely conservative and religious, you know that for a fact, but it's still very unclear about what the social worker did.There is zero evidence that the counsellor or social worker (and it appears there may have been both) 'transitioned' anyone.
What you are inferring is that some straight kid walked into counselling and walked out trans.
That's not honest or correct.
Nobody knows what happened, but the most likely thing is that the kid went in to ask questions because their likely conservative or religious parents wouldn't let them choose their own sexual identity.
The chances that a counsellor could 'transition' any teenager through counselling is nonsense, the kid would have to be very motivated to even want to talk about that with a counsellor.
Also, there were two articles on this story, one said the counsellor was abiding by board policy, one says they weren't. Which means its unclear whether they did anything wrong.
This whole 'grooming' nonsense is right wing scaremongering.
Ok....
