I am looking for some kind of support group on understanding things. My 11 year old daughter was at school and went to the bathroom cut all of her hair off. When I got there she was in the office. The school counselor told me that my child stated she wanted to be a boy that she doesnt want to be a girl anymore. Once I got her in the car and was able to speak to her one on one she finally came out and told me that she has felt like a boy for a long time and that she was attracted to girls. I love my child to death and I back her on whatever she wants I just don't know how to help her deal with other people judging and making her feel like she is a freak. But after she told me you could see it in her face that a weight had been lifted off her shoulders and she actually started smiling and just felt so good to be able to tell me. Does anyone have any input and guidance for me? The school wants me to put her in a center for treatment which I think is disgusting and I would never do that.
