About the Gender Critical Support Board

[jennyfair24]

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. Once your membership is activated, you'll have access to the members-only area, where you'll be able to communicate with like-minded parents who are going through situations similar to yours, and discuss issues more in-depth and in an atmosphere that's not so public as this portion of the forum.

Thank you. I have registered, just waiting for it to be activated. I look forward to finding resources and other parents to talk to.
