Lately she keeps her hair short and wears t shirts and jeans or long shorts. She goes to an all girls school and a girl in her class (of 50 kids) just became FTM. She herself still likes american girl, etc. All of a sudden she tells me she wants to be a boy. The only kind of weird thing is she is very creative and draws her own graphic novels but mainly a male character. Recenltly she was complaining though to DH that there is only ONE female ninja in lego ninjago.Sasha Ayad offered up the name below. Unfortunately for me I am in WNY but may work out for you. He has a office in Manhattan.
She was an easy toddler but is easily distracted in school. She does not meet criteria for ADHD but is close (we had her evaluated 3 years ago)/ . Also, she is a little immature for age/ her class. She has always been self conscious about showing skin and is terrified of going out without sunblock!
I really believe she is a girl. I dont want a therapist who will try to help her transition.
