Get the Validation by proxy mug.If all else fails, the abuser recruits friends, colleagues, mates, family members, the authorities, institutions, neighbours, the media, teachers – in short, third parties – to do his bidding. He uses them to cajole, coerce, threaten, stalk, offer, retreat, tempt, convince, harass, communicate and otherwise manipulate his target. He controls these unaware instruments exactly as he plans to control his ultimate prey. He employs the same mechanisms and devices. And he dumps his props unceremoniously when the job is done.
One form of control by proxy is to engineer situations in which abuse is inflicted upon another person. Such carefully crafted scenarios of embarrassment and humiliation provoke social sanctions (condemnation, opprobrium, or even physical punishment) against the victim. Society, or a social group become the instruments of the abuser.

Get the abuse by proxy mug."Trannyhausen-by-Proxy," a play on Munchausen-by-Proxy, is the term for a parent (or parents) who has gender-confusion issues of their own or an emotional agenda of their own, and works those issues/agenda out on the body of a child by involving the child in trans activities to the child's detriment; disclaiming their own emotional involvement, but maintaining falsely that "The interest in being trans is coming from the child." The commonest pattern is a mother obtaining narcissistic gratification by parading her son around in a dress, while the father stands by helplessly as his son is rail-roaded into a permanent trans identity. The term arose in late 2020 as a response to the narratives presented in HBO's Transhood and the Save James case in Texas.
