I just found this board - my 13 year old told us this summer she is a boy. She told me via text. She never showed any signs of dysphoria. She was always long hair and pink and glitter and sparkles and bows. She started experiencing severe social anxiety at the beginning of puberty and then made some new friends in middle school. One of these friends had a older sister who came out as trans. A couple of years later so did the younger sister and then a whole flock of girls in my daughters grade. About a month later she told us she’s a boy. We found out that she had been swallowed whole by tik tok and you tube tutorials basically teaching her that God isn’t real and that if she’s feeling anxious it’s because she’s a boy. I desperately want to get her into therapy but I’m scared to take her to anyone that will affirm this so we have just been holding steady and loving her like crazy and telling her she is a girl. I would love to be approved into the private forum so someone can help me get through this and find a therapist who will help us.
