My daughter came out after wanting to commit suicide as she was molested by her paternal grand father. We had some mental health crisis workers come out, police were brought in and we pressed charges. We also had to move as we shared a semi detached. Shortly after her friends came out she did too.
My husband supports her through guilt. His father molested our daughter so he is standing with her.
I am alone. Our medical system gave her free testosterone, free needles and now a soon to happen free top surgery.
My gut instinct is saying this is all because my daughter was sexually abused but I have no say as I have been locked out of the process.
At least I am not alone
Thanks

I am so sorry for all that your daughter - and you - have gone through so much. There is a lot of evidence to link trauma to the to transition. I don't have it handy, but google it and also look up (and show her and your husband) the recent video from Tyler, a trans man who after 6 years has come to the realization that he wanted to be male as a way to feel safe after he was sexually violated. I am not paraphrasing his story well - but go to Youtube and type "Tyler detransition" he is amazingly articulate. Good luck. What you are going through must be so hard. If you cant find these resources DM me.
