No one is touching this because current politically correct climate favors the transgendered as being at the top of the pecking order, the most protected class of individual above lesbians and gays, blacks, undocumented latinos and women in that order, with any type of conservative and white Christian man occupying the lowest possible positions. No one is allowed to comment without harsh criticism or worse about those above them in the PC rankings and the ramifications of their particular situation for our society, even though we are all stakeholders. This needs to change if we are ever to have a society of equals rather than a culture of grievance based political power struggles.

That said, my opinion is family situations of this sort will rarely last long term, and great emotional damage will be done to all members, particularly children. I hope this is not the case for this or any other example, but I fear for them and for any society that institutionalizes it in policy or law.
