About the Gender Critical Support Board

[Guest]

my daughter has high functioning autism spectrum. she is 17. and two years ago said she is a boy, with the year learning about transgender at school and said that she identified with it. but never before had any issues being female. I didn't know what to do. I let her change her name. I let her dress how she wants to dress and de-emphasis her femaleness. Btw, she was extrodinary pretty and at times really liked that but then quit. Her hormones seem off, she has side burns. and seems to be experiencing male hormones.

Also, I'm physically very feminine. And also had ptsd from getting beaten. I think her gender disphoria is related to the attack I suffered but she doesn't think so.

I was going along with it, as long as no hormones or surgery, but when she strarted wanting to take it that far, I felt like I made a mistake going with it. she is on lexapro to help manage an anxiety disorder. Which I wish I started sooner.

I dont care if she wants to express herself as a "tomboy" or boy and style her self however she preferrs, but I do care about her hating her body and disconnecting from past self. and I really dont think she could handle hormones. and I totally dont want her having any permanent disfigurement.

I dont know what to do, but I regret going with it. but I am scared not to.
