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.
