Leelah Alcorns parents say they loved their son unconditionally. This is, of course, a lie. Loving Leelah unconditionally would have involved accepting Leelah as she was, not trying to fix her. Loving Leelah unconditionally would have involved not setting the condition that Leelah accept the role of son. Love is incompatible with denying the nature of what you love. If you cannot accept a gay person as gay, a trans woman as a woman, a trans man as a man, you cannot love them. You do not love them.
