My daughter is 14 and just announced to her father and I that she is trans. She apparently came out at school and they have been calling her by a male name and pronouns without our knowledge. I started seeing the indoctrination in 7th and 8th grade when she came home and had proudly memorized all of the different gender identities. Since then, she has immersed herself in social media and began involving herself in social justice and political issues. Our family dynamic completely shifted during the middle school years as her father and I have been accused of being Boomers and homophobic facists (we are NOT). She was never quick to make friends and socially awkward. She's also ADHD and on medication. She has found a community of other trans girls and LBGTQ friends at school that are encouraging her. She has also spoken to the guidance counselor at school and has accused us of mental abuse for not supporting her. This is all happening so quickly. She has never been in a relationship with a boy or girl unless it was online. She went from telling me everything to not wanting to tell me anything. This has all happened this weekend and an email was sent to the guidance counselor this afternoon. I am afraid of the response I will get and am prepared to change to a private school although my daughter "loves" this school. She has finally found a peer group to accept and encourage her. I am terrified at what I've read online this weekend and feel that this NOT normal that it's happening to so many young girls in the same manner. I am lost and don't know where to turn. We did take away her iPhone today, indefinitely. I regret ever getting her one,
