Hi
I too am waiting for my account to be activated. Like many of you, I feel lost, sad and very helpless. My 19 year old daughter has a chronic illness (Type I diabetes) that has made her put on weight and as a result, she has been mostly ostracized and left off the party lists through her high school years. I knew she wondered about her sexuality though every time a boy showed an interest in her, this seemed to be forgotten. Now she has moved on to the next phase, talking about surgery and testosterone. Like many of the posts I have seen on this site, she spent many hours on the net despite our attempts to restrict it, and it seems like the trans cult managed to get her hooked. We discuss things openly (so far) and we are trying to get her to postpone irreversible steps but it is very hard to enlist help from objective professionals. I am all for tolerance (being a minority myself) but we seem to have lost the ability to question anything for fear of being called a bigot or a hater. In trying to celebrate diversity, our children are being pigeon-holed and labelled even further.
I have a lot of thoughts and feelings on this but what I'd really like is to find out if there is a subgroup for parents or even young adults/teens that have been affected by a chronic illness like diabetes. Any advice would be welcome- we don't want to lose our daughter to what I see as a recruitment movement.

Hello, adogslife, and welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's troubles. Before undergoing medical treatment, I hope she will consider how testosterone can effect her health in light of her diabetes. Testosterone being taken by a female with diabetes sounds ripe for complications, although I'll admit I don't know much about it.
