It is taboo to openly discuss these issues within the Muslim community, but not out of an acceptance of dogma (acceptance of transgender ideology is still relegated to the fringes, and usually not by mosque-goers).

In response, the father quit his job and left the state with his family. A trusted lawyer and psychiatrist advised the father to be careful and to refrain from expressing any hint of delaying this “treatment”, otherwise he would risk Child Protective Services taking his son away. The family was told that the only way to keep “her” from committing suicide was to immediately seek out “gender-affirming care.” Washington, the state they lived in at the time, did not require parental permission for such care, so telling the family was “effectively a courtesy” and the providers would initiate “gender-affirming care” regardless of the parents wishes. One day, he suddenly began to identify as a girl.
