My reasons for asking are I have a child (mid-twenties) who is seriously thinking of transitioning (female to male). I am so distressed and am really struggling to cope. I love my daughter so much and, up until recently, had believed that she was bi-sexual and felt a sort of mix of male and female. I am genuinely a supportive and caring parent who wants the absolute best for my child but I feel shaken to the core that she may transition completely. I'm truly not transphobic but can't help thinking that other avenues should be explored first. I realise this isn't about looks but she's very feminine looking and soft and gentle so it feels even harder to reconcile somehow with her telling me she is in fact male. I realise my child seems to be considerably older than the children of other posters. Maybe I just have to be completely accepting of her decision (I feel 'bad' even saying 'she'!) but any support would be so very welcome. Thank you.
You are certainly welcome here.
The age of our children varies a great deal.
We're here to support each other thru this nightmare whatever the age of our kids.
I wish you and your family the very best.
