She would likely have come home one day and just been blindsided by her parents and had to confront everything head on, right then and there. That would have been a nightmare.

These type of parents are exactly what the government’s policy is for. It’s disgusting they try to frame it as best for the child.
Parents like you who offer unconditional love, also offer space for their child to approach them with these matters when and where they’re ready.
Parents who would expel their child, or think they could change their minds with therapy/threats/whatever, or just shame their child into never exploring their identity. That’s who benefits from such a policy. At the detriment of the child.
