So Lita's story is supposed to represent that of a trans child who "found a family" of adult strangers who accept and affirm Lita's new identity.

The real-world equivalent would be a transgender orphan child being picked up by a group of adults who affirm the trans child's identity.

But here's the thing. To me, and to a lot of other people, that's called grooming. To "affirm" the "gender identity" of a "trans" child is to sexualize a child.
