Hi All, I'm new to this board, and trying to understand how it works. I just registered, and seem to have access, but I don't know if there's another special activation. My son just 18 yo, and told us that he is a girl, and is planning to "transition." This story goes back a few years and has many facets, but basically my wife and I are trying to help him see this as temporary confusion and thought. We are even trying to acknowledge the female in-him (as a sort of compromise). Our biggest fear is that he takes hormones and has surgery. We already found the estrogen pills on him (which he got from Planned Parenthood), and we confiscated. But he's 18, and just started college, and he is somewhat empowered by the whole trans movement. Desperately need help to get through to him. He never had friends, always had no self confidence, which is completely related to shame of his body. He never felt like he compared to other boys. This is one of the causes we believe of his confusion. We're trying to be creative and think out-of-the-box for ways to get through to him.... to just relax and not do anything permanently damaging,
