I knew it. I suspected that a large majority of these "trans kids" were a case of their "parents" projecting, just like with "vegetarian" pet carnivores.
Regarding the "this is the natives' name for it" argument that is used in favor of keeping the name as Denali, should we call the Japanese Nipponese or the Germans Deutschlanders? Should we call New Zealand Aotearoa? This is policing the English language, making us only call nouns by their "native" names.
