So began researching and glad I found this forum. I cannot believe this is such a huge thing! I figured it was a niche issue however it's hundreds if not thousands of kids.
I've always thought of myself as an ally of the LGBTG community, where I support Adults making these decisions wholeheartedly, or at least I did.
Looking into it, it seems there are very militant trans adults trolling youtube for kids like my daughter and taking active measures to bring them into the trans fold.
I'm afraid I'm closing in on being a fascist about social media with her just to keep these people away. Local police could care less unless there is an attempt to traffic or entice for sex, yet I see it as being groomed just like those things are.
Does anyone know if there are any legal resources to go after adults that are actively seeking pre-teen children to coax into this con?

I have had my suspicions and knew the time had come to confront them. We had a long talk and I told her that although I love her, will always be right by her side, and empathize with the confusion and torment she may be feeling over this, that I don’t BLAME HER for her feelings, but that we (she and I), will not agree to accept that lifestyle. I feel like my world is falling apart and just want my little girl back. I feel so alone and ashamed and I blame myself. I created her! I can’t stop crying. I did not share these feelings with her. Except that I blame myself. I am trying to put on a brave face in front of her until I figure out what to do. I realize that in my situation, immediate and consistent action is going to have to be taken. I am glad I found this board and hope that I can get some insight from it. I am at the beginning of what I believe is going to be a difficult road for me and my girl. And I just want my baby back.
How are we all going through this? It's insane! These should be the years we're talking about normal teenage stuff, not them becoming another person as if they can just discard who they are and start over new, and it's PROMOTED by professionals and the media. I really hope you can find a path forward with your daughter and she comes back to you.
Hi dharma blade, and welcome. Your account has been activated.
You ask some great questions and raise some great points. I encourage you to take your questions and observations to our members-only forum, as this part of the forum does not receive much traffic from our members.
I'm sorry to hear of yet another 11-year-old getting swept up in this. The good news is that she has more than 6 years to go before she is a legal adult. Time is on your side. Yet, of course this doesn't mean there is no need to worry.
Welcome to the forum; I hope you'll find the information and fellowship here helpful.
