Hello, I am new to this forum. I am so excited to find this site. My daughter is 19 and has decided to be a boy. She came out as a lesbian when she was in 7th grade. She stopped shaving her legs about a year ago. My husband and I do not have a clue how to handle this. She tried to commit suicide in September. We have since have avoided saying her name and try to to use any pronouns. She claims to have dysphoria moments. she is very non-social. Has no friends and goes no where. She stays on her phone all the time. We refuse to buy her a binder but have bought some male clothing. I feel so alone in this. She is in college and not doing as well as she could be but she is passing. Any thoughts would be welcome. |

Hello guest, welcome. I'm so sorry to hear about what your daughter and your family are going through. Your story does sound very similar to many others. Kids come up with a shocking, completely out-of-character declaration and everyone who doesn't really know the kid insists it is 100% true, but the parents who know their child, know it is out of character and suspect the trans declaration is some kind of cry for help or indicative of some other problem are shamed, vilified and called phobic. It's completely nuts, IMHO. It's quite outrageous and would almost be amusing if risky medicalization and permanent body modifications weren't the end result. If you haven't already, I encourage you to sign up as a member of the forum. Once your membership is activated, you'll have access to the members-only area, where you'll be able to communicate with like-minded parents who are going through situations similar to yours, and discuss issues more in-depth and in an atmosphere that's not so public as this portion of the forum. |

It's 3:35am and I've just found this forum after searching for what seems like an eternity. Our story sounds like so many others here. Honestly, it's a relief to finally find some other parents to talk to. Everywhere we've turned to, counselors, school, pediatrician, etc, they've all just affirmed our daughter's decision meanwhile treating us like we're not good parents if we don't go along with this. Our 15 year old daughter who a year and a half ago spent days looking for the perfect dress for her brothers graduation and wearing two piece swimsuits at the beach told us June 30th that she's trans. In less than a year she went from happy girly girl to being trapped in a girls body. I could and will share much more eventually but for now in just grateful to have found this forum and a glimmer of hope. |
