IMissMyBeautifulSon, you have come to the right place. Over the years, I believe that has been a common reason for many of us posting to this forum. I know the isolation you must feel. Sadly, even though you feel alone, in actuality, a large number of us here have and are experiencing this loss of a child in a way for which there is no recognition, no public way to mourne, and no lack of the clueless and thoughtless who even suggest what has happened to your son (and to my daughter) is worthy of celebration and "pride." I encourage you to search through the private side of this forum, and you will find a lot that is familiar in the stories of others, and maybe some ways to cope, a safe place to vent your anger and sadness, and maybe some hope in the resources and ideas that have been shared here. Hang in there. You're not completely alone.

I am confused.

I clicked the link which said I needed to enter my name, and a temporary password

I can’t see where to enter these things.

I thought I was nonbinary because I didn’t feel particularly female. 

I also enjoyed doing some things that males did, and some things that females did. 

I eventually worked out that hobbies aren’t necessarily female, or male exclusive. 

Females can play Magic the Gathering, and talk to males. That doesn’t mean they aren’t women. 

I don’t know if you can reason with your child.

Oh, Kassandra! I'm so sorry she has gone back to a tans ID. Had she desisted before? I think if she moved away from it once, perhaps it would be easier for her to move away from it again?

Yes, this board is still here. The activity has slowed a great deal but we are still here.
