Hello, HD26, your account has been activated.

I'm so sorry about your daughter. Your story sounds similar to so many of ours. It is especially tragic when this happens to our kdis at or after age 18, because hormones and other medical treatments are available on demand through ICATH (Informed Consent for Access to Trans Health). As you put it, parents' hands are tied. 

While there's not too much that you can do, other than loving your daughter and doing what you can to keep an open path and communication for her to return to herself, you have come to the right place for support, friendship, news and advice. Everyone here knows you are not phobic or cruel, and understands what you are going through and what you are dealing with.

Welcome. You are not alone.

It is nice to not feel so alone, but I hate that there are others going through this as well. Our 15 year old daughter announced a few months ago that she is trans. We know that is not who she truly is. She has never shown any inclination of this before. We have been reading book after book, and searching high and low for anything that can help us. We did finally find a counselor willing to work with her and take a neutral position and work on anxiety and depression to start with. We definitely need any help we can get. Right now, we are just praying without ceasing

A belated welcome to you, ISA.

I'm glad you found this forum but sad that you needed to. You are not alone.

Which state is better for ROGD kids? I don't believe in instant affirmation and would like to buy in some time to address underlying causes. Kindly advise a good place to relocate to, where I can get some support from similar parents as well, if possible. Thank you very much.

Best regards

Hello, rathee, and welcome to the board. 

This map might be helpful to you, as it shows states that have passed anti-conversion therapy laws. These laws, which were designed to prevent cruel, abusive, unethical methods used to supposedly "turn" gay people straight, have been applied to kids who self-identify as trans and basically ban talk therapy (though there may be ways therapists can get around that).

Now that your membership has been activated, I invite you to post your question in the members-only area, where more members are likely to see your post and you are more likely to receive responses.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this but glad you found the forum. Welcome.

Hi,

Which state is better for ROGD kids? I don't believe in instant affirmation and would like to buy in some time to address underlying causes. Kindly advise a good place to relocate to, where I can get some support from similar parents as well, if possible. Thank you very much.

Best regards
