I can sort of understand not really understanding what it’s like to be trans; I don’t fully get it myself, being cis.
What I really can’t wrap my head around is why it would be difficult to say to your kid, “I don’t really get it, but this is clearly important to you so I’ll do my best to support you however I can.” Instead, he’s going full Denethor (well, not quite full yet, but there’s definitely something self-destructive about his behavior).
