I think that you should take them in. All of them. Only you can save them from these horrible religious parents. They obviously do not love them if they wont allow them to castrate themselves. Teach them that real love only comes by paying taxes and doing drugs and thinking about your sexual organs constantly. Real happiness only comes from sexual organs. Especially ones that no longer work properly and hurt almost all the time.
This akes me wonder why you're so obsessed with children's genitals?
Transgender and nonbinary people are up to six times more likely to also have autism. This intersection has researchers trying to understand the connection and how society views these identities.]

… Statistics show that the majority of gender confused children are on the autism spectrum.
Brains don't fully develop until age 25; puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery permanently change their identity before they've even had a chance to figure out who they are and what they want from life.
The rate of suicides among those who've had their bodies permanently altered are far higher than would be expected.
As for comments of 'that's not what this thread is about' and 'stick to the topic', it's DBCowboy's thread and it's only right HE decide whether someone is off topic. We should perhaps stay in our own lane and let him police his thread as he sees fit
different issue completely.
Are all parents good? Hell no, some go along and willingly mutilate the sex organs of their children.
Dogwhistle much?
It is extraordinarily rare for anyone under 18 to have genital surgery.

A parent or parents should always determine for their children. Are all parents good? Hell no, some go along and willingly mutilate the sex organs of their children.
But parental rights are also individual rights. The collective approach is wrong because not everyone thinks the same or feels the same.
My wife is a high school teacher, she has told me that 99% of her students doing this fad are young girls. She says that the ones that get away from it are the ones that eventually get boyfriends. She says usually it is the more homely types that seem to be doing so more for attention than for any real reason. She told me that there is usually an alpha in the group that pushes them into more and more bizarre behavior. The alpha female is usually at least gay.
When she meets the parents, she says that the parents are bewildered people who are as confused as their children and probably haven't given their children normal human needs as communication and empathy. So when the kid finally presents this behavior then the parents are forced to "see" them and communicate with them, but they dont know how so they go along with everything the kid is sayiing. She has told me that probably 90 percent of the kids are single parent homes with no real male influence either by having a deadbeat father or a mother that has forced the father from their lives in legal ways. An addition: She also says that there have been a couple of moms she has met that have set off her spidey senses that the mother is abusing their daughters sexually. Sorry to say that, but I am sure that is also an issue.
Whatever you think of this problem, and it is a problem, I believe my wife is accurate with her thoughts as she has been in the public school system now for 23 years and is also the head of the art department which is the type of class all of these poor confused children are attracted to like moths to a flame.
