Hello. I am new to this forum as well. Just reading over some of the post here has been very comforting and reassuring. My beautiful daughter who will third turn 13 tomorrow told us four weeks ago and she thinks she might be a boy. Our lives have been shattered. I allowed her to cut off her long beautiful golden curls into a short boyish hairstyle. She is seeing a Christian psychologist who we really like and will see a psychiatrist for the first time next week. All of us seem to begin or coincide with the starting of the pandemic. She is now severely depressed and anxious and withdrawn. I feel like I am losing my little girl. I have taken a Leave of absence from my from my job as a teacher because I am unable to function very well right now due to all of this.
