In terms of impact/influence, K. Olson's work is funded by MacArthur grants & U.of Washington, & has been used by trans activists to prove affirmation is the only way. Yet she made no attempt to find a control group of kids loved & supported but not affirmed as opposite sex.

Econo, it’s a sad thing for sure to see this kind of thing tear up a family ... my condolences... there’s difference between non/affirm and hostile anti-affirm. There do exist desist-ers ... that have experienced the reverse. — research and robust inquiry is the way forward

Honest question: Do you think it's possible for a parent to love their child without sharing their conviction that they've changed sex? At some point this could be a good conversation to have, because it's not simple (for anyone).

Do you think its possible for a parent to love their child without sharing their conviction that they are able to love someone of the same gender?

If one's child is in a loving gay r'ship, refusing to believe it is a denial of reality. Similarly, if one's child says they're happy w/transition, refusal to believe that is also denial--but that's different from being asked to believe that child is literally a different sex.

It isn't one size fits all (as the survey showed). In particular, for some, pronouns = endorsing something they don't believe. But gendered pronouns are third person, & needed only when a person isn't present. It's easy to avoid using them at all if the person IS present.
