And that's another reason why the analogy with black people fails. Black children with black parents are unlikely to be told they're unnatural and that there is something wrong with them for being black when their parents are black too.
But parents of transgender people are usually not transgender themselves and certainly are more likely to mistreat their transgender child that way.
What's more, although there is still homophobia and homophobes .... there is even more transphobia and even more transphobes. Almost all homophobes are also transphobes but there are plenty of transphobes that aren't homophobes. And plenty of transphobic gay people too. People who aren't bigoted about other things are still often bigoted about transpeople. Transphobia is so widespread it's ridiculous.
