After watching dozens of transition videos on YouTube Ive gotten the sense where this is possibly heading. There are 5 kids in total in her class of 24 that identify as trans which statistically seems so unlikely. My kid recently expressed the desire to force all parents to raise their children as theybies as one of her goals if you need any indication of how far down the gender ideology rabbit hole she has gone. We found a therapist that seems somewhat non affirming but my daughter senses corrected that they have little experience in the gender area and is requesting a change which scares me because Chicago is a gender transition hub and probably more affirmative than many places. Any help appreciated
Hi Dadperson,
Welcome to the forum. Your account has been activated, so I recommend you post your query in the members-only area, as this public portion of the forum doesn't get too much traffic from our members.
I'm sorry for your and your daughter's troubles. Your story will sound familiar to many of our members. I think you'll find the unanimous advice not to take her to a gender clinic or gender specialist. What is that saying "when one is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Or something like that. Gender clinics and gender specialists will surely take your daughter's self diagnosis at face value, affirm her, and put her on the path to transition.
There is advice in the members-only area for parents in your basic position. I hope you'll find it helpful.
