Factitious disorder - Symptoms and causes
www.mayoclinic.org
Factious disorder imposed on another
Factitious disorder imposed on another, previously called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, is when someone falsely claims that another person has physical or mental symptoms of illness or causes injury or disease in another person to deceive others.
People with this condition present another person as sick, hurt or having a hard time functioning, claiming they need medical help. Usually this involves a parent harming a child. This form of abuse can put a child in danger of being hurt or getting medical care that isn't needed.
The other variation targets the trans child or person
Factitious disorder isn't the same as making up medical issues for a benefit or reward, such as getting out of work or winning a lawsuit. Although people with factitious disorder know they are causing their symptoms or illnesses, they may not know why they do what they do or see themselves as having mental health issues.
Often there is premorbid personality disorder. The left exploited these mentally ill people by proclaiming them as normal. What they did was create socially contagious mental illness.
This is the only common sense explanation possible of why a parent would support a gender dysphoric offspring.
