What did Leelah's parents use to justify their actions?

  • Financial reasons

  • Social pressure

  • Legal advice

  • Christian beliefs

Answer

Christian beliefs were used by Leelah's parents to justify their actions. They believed that their religious convictions required them to enforce strict gender norms and expectations on their child. This resulted in Leelah feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unable to express her true identity. The pressure to conform to societal and religious norms ultimately contributed to Leelah's distress and decision to end her life.
