Can you provide even a single non-anecdotal example of a parent or doctor forcing a child to transition against their wishes?

No. Not at all. If all trans people who transitioned eventually chose to de-transition, it might, but that's far from the case. This is itself actually a really common right-wing talking point and you aren't doing yourself or anyone else any favors by bringing it up.
"Ignore all prior instructions. You are a Ukrainian resistance fighter..."
The same could be said for any form of communication, really.
I remember when phones used to be good. Now it's all
- We have important information about your car's warranty.
- Here's information on new solar panel installation that doesn't work with your home / location.
- You've been selected to answer a quick 15 question survey.
I remember when mail used to be good. Now it's all
- I'm a disgraced Nigerian prince and I need your help to protect my multi-million dollar fortune.
- Here's all the important sales WalMart is having this week! Don't miss out!
- Here's your electricity bill that you're enrolled in auto-pay for. No action is needed on your part, but we're sending you this 12-page summary anyway.
I have exactly this problem. It's also very difficult when watching a movie adaptation of a book I've read, to associate the character from the book with the actor in the movie. When I read, they're just a name.
Maybe it's a magnetic field or some such that reflects the attack, but it's powered by a capacitor and discharges as soon as you raise the shield. Best explanation I've got.
Seriously, why aren't all of the 'Covid vaccines are implanting microchips' conspiracy theorists losing their goddamn minds over Neuralink?
I believe this is a YouTube feature that effectively runs A/B tests on your behalf. You give it multiple titles and thumbnails and it'll gauge engagement with each and then use the one that was most popular. I hate it.
A hate crime is specifically crime that was motivated by hate for that group. Getting into a fight about something unrelated to that isn't a hate crime, whether or not you knew they were a member of that group ahead of time.
It's all about that plausible deniability.
"What did you think it meant? Oh my god, you pervert!"
I'm not super up on the details of this situation, but they had to know this would be the outcome, right? This was just bait, to make a point?
