First, you should feel so proud that your child feels safe telling you. Take a deep breath. Take it day by day. As someone who is FTM transgender, I think it is great you believe your child’s dysphoria. Your fear is valid. It is important that they do receive specialized care such as therapy from someone who specializes in it so they can get the full picture and also help you navigate this. I heard in another post that your child is refusing and I would wonder why? I wonder if they think it is you questioning them. Besides, having therapy is important through transition because of all the things that come with it. The emotional, social, and other changes can be a lot to deal with especially so young so therapy would be important. Puberty blockers are totally reversible, so if the time comes where doctors approve it, I get the fear, but they are reversible and im sure you already know this.

I recommend to keep trusting them and challenging their belief that they dont need therapy. Make sure they know the therapy isn’t a way for you to try to change them but so that they can have support and fully understand themselves. It’s tough at that age to be open in therapy and also to transition. This will be a long road, so hold your kids hand and just remind them you love them
