About the Gender Critical Support Board

[Marge Bouvier Simpson]

My son is 14 and wants to become a woman. Early stages of Gender Dysphoria.

I read lots of articles about gender disister detransition and early stages of prevention. My son needs help and he is just confused.

History of the issue:

- hes shown no signs of being gay hes a well-mannnered boy
- no signs of trying to cross-dress when he was little
- doesn't like women's stuff
- was an abrupt decision on his end.

I overheard him talking on the phone 1am in the morning and i knocked on his door and asked him who he was talking to then he became hysterical says he heard a ghost and heard something etc. I told him he was lying because I could clearly hear him talking to someone. Then I kept on asking who he was talking to etc. Then from that point on his mom got involved and eventually, he said hes been visiting a site called Trevorproject and been talking to people there and that it was a site for gender help.

This happened maybe because i grounded him months back. He plays online games a lot very active and has this discord group and he's an admin and very much trash-talking when playing to the point that he carried the attitude towards his parents. So I ended his online games.

I noticed a month after that he was locking his bedroom door now and stays there all day all the time so i ddint bother . He had his phone with him and i think he had a mental breakdown of the sudden stop of his gaming activity.

We don't know what to do as a parent. I feel and believe that he acquired this ideology of being trans online and must have spoken to someone that have hone his curiosity, a predator online. He mentioned hea=s been with trevorproject 5months and it's way enough time to brainwash him into thinking he is really a woman.

He's 14 and he's way to young to decide that he's already wanting to become trans.

Hello, JJggg. 

I'm sorry for all you and your son are dealing with. His story sounds very familiar. I hope you'll join this board as a member. In the members-only area, you'll find parents who are dealing with this and feel the same way you do, as well as some advice and strategies for possibly helping your son. I recommend joining because most members don't visit this public area of the forum very often.

This can take anywhere from a minute to a day, depending upon the activity and availability of our moderators.

Your story sounds very similar to the stories of many of our members. I hope you'll join us. Best wishes to you and your son.
