About the Gender Critical Support Board

[koolzero]

I’m a 42 male and I have an 11 year old daughter who last year told my wife she wanted to go by the name Noah instead of her given name. My wife is on board with buying her binders and affirming her decision because she says, “she loves her unconditionally” and I say you can love her but as parents we don’t have to do everything our 11 year old wants but we should not encourage the behavior. My wife has said that she will not put her on hormone therapy or allow her to have any medical procedures until she is an adult. I’ve read Abigail’s book and I’m trying to get my wife to read it but she says it’s unlikely to changed her opinion. I’ve also made the argument to my wife that if it was another type of dysmorphia like anorexia you do not affirm it. Not sure how I can get my wife to understand.
