I too just found out. My daughter was always a girly girl and ironically still has girly tendencies. I found out after she cut her hair and began dressing like the unabomber , she was using a male name at school and now work. I've cried for days. Christmas was ruined. I can't eat and sleep.i hope we all get through this.

Hi. I'm struggling to accept that I even need to be here. My daughter doesn't claim the transgender identity to me, but I have discovered that she lives it at school and with her friends. I want to be anywhere but here. I don't want to do this, or think about it. I want to wake up and have this nightmare over. But, that's not reality. So, I'm hoping to find support and help here.  Thanks.

Same. My daughter is only doing this at school but I recently discovered at work she is going by a male name. I've cried for days, she's always had depression issues especially when she gets knee deep in her cell phone but always has been very girly.

Welcome, DLM1446. I'm sorry your daughter is yet another who has been caught up in this.

Your account has been activated. I'm hoping you'll find the members-only section helpful. I know you will find it supportive. I guess I've worded it that way because actually helping our kids can be difficult, but the members here are wonderfully supportive. We help each other as best we can but there is not any sort of tried-and-true method for pulling kids out of the cult-like groupthink. 

Welcome. You are not alone.
