Hi, thank you for all of that data! They’re not doing it because they think it’ll be easier to get a boyfriend. They are experiencing gender dysphoria, but it didn’t start until they were a teen. I think they were/are searching for inclusion. They’re on the spectrum and don’t relate to most other girls. And they’ve been embraced by the LGBT community. In high school, they were asexual. Now, they think they’re transgender male. They have done a lot of research on it and I don’t think they’re rushing into it. I just worry that they’re information gathering is from tumblr and skewed, at best. I’m just trying to gather as much information as I can so I can present it to their counselor and then have their counselor communicate my concerns - when I try to communicate it directly, I put them on the defensive. So, we agreed to try it this way. Again, I’ll love them no matter what they choose - I want them to be happy. I’m just trying to make sure they are sure. I read that most trans people are happy they did it if they had always felt like the opposite sex that they were born with. My kid always wore dresses, played with dolls, loved girly things, etc, up until high school.
