Welcome Bellemom,
I am sorry for the reason that you here.
Yes, to what the others have said.
Consider reading some of Lisa Marchiano's articles:

I think it is safe to say that none of our children would have arrived at a trans identity--if not for social influences on the internet. Many also have peers doing the same thing in their friend group at school.
There are many You-Tubers, stuff on Tumblr, chat rooms, etc. Here is one basic example:

You could lose your daughter due to her screen influences. She is 18, so I don't know what you can do at this point. Turn off the WiFi to your house?
Honestly, do you think your daughter was born in the wrong body?
Was she calling herself a himself at a young age?
I hope you can get some good advice and counseling for your daughter.
Be very cautious about college.
Best to you and your family--
