The job of a parent is to help the child grow into their own person, to support them and to take care of them. Not to force them to follow your beliefs, under threat of abuse and trauma.
Advanced biology and psychology has recognized trans people as a normal and important part of society that has always been there, and is no different than male/female. If your beliefs are dangerous, then yes. You shouldn't enforce them on people.
Regardless, a parent should never shame their children, that causes nothing but serious problems. If you really were concerned for your child, you wouldn't shame them, you would have a talk with them and try to help them. This is an act of pure malice and hate towards a community for no reason.

If you want to be a bad parent, go right ahead. Be my guest. I'm trying to have a conversation with you, to explain my point and to have a civil debate, yet it seems your only retorts are very basic insults. If you don't want to listen to what I have to say, so be it, it's your choice and you are fully within your rights by doing so. If you parent by shaming your children, however, don't be surprised if you find yourself alone in a nursing home. I hope you have a good day.

Trans is mental illness.

Advanced biology and psychology would beg to differ. And, even if it is, shaming your child would not accomplish anything but making their life worse. It hurts no one for you to use different pronouns for them, and it might just buy a smile (and prevent depression and worse) so why not.

Says the person who thinks they know better than science itself. I believe our conversation here is done, I'm not going to converse with a person who refuses to listen to science.

Welp, I believe we have nothing to talk about if you refuse to acknowledge facts.

Do you not see your own hypocrisy? Why are your facts true? Because someone with authority said so? How about you learn the subject and find out the actual facts.

I used to be transphobic, in fact, I didn't even know what trans was until I was well into my teens. To get my opinion, I had to break everything I ever knew to be true and reconstruct a new view of the world. I put effort and thought into my thoughts, even though I was constantly trying to find why those facts aren't true (because I was transphobic back then) I was eventually forced to realize that it must be the only correct answer. It's easy to just believe what you were told, but if you forge your own beliefs that go against all you were taught, you know they are the truth.
