Bottom line: These people see any parent as an ignorant fool if they don't embrace a "trans-identity" and go along with all the prescribed steps, from calling your 4-year-son a girl if that's what he "wants," to giving your 12-year-old daughter puberty blockers because she doesn't like her budding breasts and period, to giving your 14-year-old daughter testosterone, and arranging for your 17-year-old son to be castrated. This group wants to appear culturally sensitive, but is instead being condescending to anyone with thoughts that vary from current mainstream American culture. I would have to assume this group would consider a white American parent who expresses concern for their trans-identified child as more evil than foolish than a foreign-born parent or a parent "of color" because these white American parents don't have the "excuse" of being from a "backwards" culture. Quite clearly, unless a parent wholeheartedly celebrates their child's desire to reject a healthy body, that parent is either stupid or wicked or both. The "Family Acceptance Project" should be re-named the "Parent Thought Control Force," since their goal is to force parents to reject their own ideas, in exchange for those of the PTCF. Of course, they would never do this since they thrive an appearing to be culturally sensitive and kind.
We have a wonderful gender studies department here in Southern AZ, I just learned from a LinkedIn self promoting post by Dr. Toomey, recipient of another grant of millions $ $ $, so LGBTQIA profs can study Latinx youth and families, teaching them of course how to identify as gender diverse, and give them lots of help! Hooray!!! Gender studies!!! Toomey is the one who sued the state for medical benefits.

We transitioned your kid without your consent. That’s empathy. Accept it!

I spit coffee all over my phone. It's tragic that it is so funny, that is, sarcastic.
