Growing up she was always interested in boys and girls things (toys etc). Lately she keeps her hair short and wears t shirts and jeans or long shorts. She goes to an all girls school and a girl in her class (of 50 kids) just became FTM. She herself still likes american girl, etc. All of a sudden she tells me she wants to be a boy. The only kind of weird thing is she is very creative and draws her own graphic novels but mainly a male character. Recenltly she was complaining though to DH that there is only ONE female ninja in lego ninjago.
She was an easy toddler but is easily distracted in school. She does not meet criteria for ADHD but is close (we had her evaluated 3 years ago)/ . Also, she is a little immature for age/ her class. She has always been self conscious about showing skin and is terrified of going out without sunblock!
I really believe she is a girl. I dont want a therapist who will try to help her transition.
I believe Sasha Ayad has a recommendation in NYC. You can contact her here for a list she keeps of recommended therapists: https://inspiredteentherapy.com/thanks/
Hello Mamanyc,
This is a few years after your post here and I hope all has been well for you and your daughter since. Of course I am wondering if you have any recommendations for a therapist who has been helpful? Going through same nightmare here.
Thank you so much,
LI Mom
