My son is 30 and married for two years, last night I got a Dear BCC email from him saying he was a woman. He's been seeing a therapist for a year and living in Bangor Maine with his wife. It's just so surreal (also getting this announced in a BCC email). I notice it is mostly trans women here (my daughter told me three of her girlfriends are trans). I feel like I'm on an alien planet.

Hello, guest. I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I can only imagine what a shock it was to learn this news. There are many of us here with daughters but also many of us with sons. I encourage you to register an account so that you can post in the members-only area, where you'll find parents who understand what you're going through. Our members don't often frequent this public area of the forum.
Your daughter having three female friends who identify as male is the new normal among teens and twenty-somethings. I don't know how old your daughter is but I'd be willing to bet she falls somewhere in that teens or 20s range. What was once something incredibly rare just 10-20 years ago is now common, yet we are supposed to believe a 3000% increase in girls who identify as male is simply because kids aren't afraid to come out now. I agree with the researchers who say they have found evidence of social contagion. There is evidence of social contagion among males, as well.
Welcome to the forum. I do hope you will register so that you can find support among fellow parents. You are not alone.
