Adult kids who identity as "trans" can be quite harsh. They are told to go "no contact" with parents who do not affirm or agree with gender ideology. And then they take it farther and have their birth certificates altered to a new chosen name and have their sex listed as the opposite of their birth. They can do this without parental notification or consent. It has been devastating to me and many parents I know. Parents seem disposable to these kids and accurate, factual historical record has no value to them or society that allows alteration of birth records in which the parent's names are listed. I represent this parental cohort, and it causes us deep despair.
