Trans widow here. My ex transitioned and convinced our 10 year old autistic son that sex changes are possible. But they aren't! This is a nightmare. Now he thinks he is a girl and talks about surgery (!). I'm furious and so are my parents.

I am a father of four kids, one of which has a limited lifespan and is severely disabled. I don't have a lot of emotional space to deal with other issues, but my 13 year old daughter just came "out" as a boy. Now she wants to go instantly on hormones. The sudden change in pace to get something done right away is scary and is raising red flags for me.

Hello father123, and welcome. IMHO you are right to see the rush to transition as a red flag.

New here. Mother of two beautiful daughters. 15 and 16. The oldest is bisexual. And the youngest just informed me she is a boy. She wants me to buy binders for her Boobs and she wants me to call her a new name and she wants me to refer to her as him. I am trying so hard to Ben supportive but isn’t too young for that hem to know? She has done lots of reading on the subject but I feel that sometimes  social media plays into her fears. I am afraid of saying  Wrong thing .

Just signed up, hope to be approved. My 13 year old daughter has decided she is transgender, a label I do not have an issue with, but she NEVER even remotely showed any signs and she gets angry with me when I tell her I don't see it, though I love and support her entirely. It seems to me that she is struggling with her body image more than anything else. I love and support her unconditionally and wherever she ends up in life, I want her to be healthy and happy. I just want to be sure and this doesn't equate. Hope to be approved soon so I can interact with other parents just trying to give our children the correct guidance they need in these crazy times. Thanks!
