(27-Sep-2020, 03:25 AM)Fading Hope Wrote: Hi,
I'm a parent of a teen who told us 2 years ago that she was nonbinary. A few months later, she changed that to trans boy. She had, up until that point, been a big fan of skirts and occasionally dresses. She didn't care a lot for playing with dolls but played with stuffed animals in that way. She loved princesses but also dinosaurs. We always encouraged that girls can like and do whatever boys do. This was completely out of left field and unexpected. She used to love swimming, and had done a lot of it just a few months before this revelation, but since then hasn't been in a pool once. She mostly stays in her room now. It's hard to get her to do anything else.

Hi Fading Hope, and welcome to the forum. Your story/your daughter's story sounds so much like what so many of us are dealing with. It seems our kids are caught up in some sort of movement or trend, and follow along with what they are told should happen or what they should do next. It is nuts they are being told that liking or not liking certain toys has any sort of bearing on whether or not they need to see an endocrinologist for hormones and a plastic surgeon for surgery.

Your account has been activated. I encourage you to tell your story in the members-only section, as members generally don't frequent this part of the forum much.

I hope you find the forum helpful. You are not alone.
