Oi haven't seen this before. thanks. I'm going to a GC meeting soon and I was thinking of taking some articles and similar with me. My DD does not engage in conversation and has told her sister to do the same as talking with a non believer is pointless and dangerous. I'm sure this is what they tell her to do at her Youth group. She is 18 now so I'm wary that she may stop wanting me to be there. At the last meeting the figure of 25 was mentioned as an age when brain development settles.i was grateful because I want to buy her time. I also said to her that I will still love her even if I think she's making a mistake and I would try my best to talk her away from making it. Maybe the articles and Lily's blog post may interest her or bring the conversation to the gender point.
Here I find hope when I am so depressed. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, great article! I just read her story on 4thwavenow and it's very insightful as well.

Haven't read the thread link yet, but was wondering how to post a new one and introduce myself? The help link said I should see a tab that says new thread, but can't find it. Oh well. I'm looking for help for my son in the northern va area. He's refusing to see a psychiatrist who uses cbt, and we need to find another since he's taking zoloft.

I'm new to this forum and I just read the article. It was eye-opening and scary. It mentioned a lot about a child whose behavior doesn't match up with gender norms, but how do we go about helping a child who now is dead-set that they are in the wrong body? That their breasts and vagina are wrong for her. How do you get them to work on self-love. If anyone can point me to another forum or article that helps with this, I would appreciate it.
