Misgendering refers to addressing or referring to someone using pronouns or gender terms that don't align with their gender identity. In some debates, particularly around transgender youth, questions have arisen about whether consistent misgendering by parents should be considered a form of emotional abuse and grounds for loss of custody. Proponents argue that persistent misgendering can cause significant psychological harm to transgender children, and in severe cases, may justify state intervention to protect the child’s well-being. Opponents argue that removing custody over misgendering infringes on parental rights, may criminalize disagreement or confusion over gender identity, and could lead to overreach by the state into family matters.

Yes, but only after triggering mandatory psychotherapy (taking as long as it needs to) and receiving feedback from the psychotherapist that all avenues have been explored with the parent/s and they refuse to give their child the parental support they need. The child should stay with their current family, until a foster family is found, instead of staying in foster care
