I do not understand. My son first mentioned he was trans at the age of 15. Then nothing and then he mentioned it again. Both times he had a female friend who is very much into LGBTQ. My son has never behaved like a girl. He does not think like a girl. He always wanted to play with boys' toys - mainly toy guns and shooting computer games. And now he wants hormones to become a girl. he speaks of a discomfort with himself, with his body. I honestly do not understand. I hope some here have some insight, or can give some support. I am a single mom and I don't know what to do. I am afraid that he is doing a mistake because I don't see any signs of him being female in any of his ways. Why is he disowning his true self? His dad is abusive and I think he cannot identify with the maleness of his dad in any way. And this might be an issue. But I doubt it is acting alone. Is there anything I can do to help him overcome that? And could his female friend be influencing him? Can someone really influence a person to change gender? Is that even possible? I have so many questions.Hi Peppin, your account has to be activated by moderators.
