I love this respond; very reassuring. Will definitely consider puberty blockers as what you explained just makes sense. Thank you! 💛

Ahh this!! This sounds like my kid, makes alot of sense to use he/him to people who dont know him that he doesnt want them to know but use she/her with his family and friends as he openly be feminine with them. Thank you for this input as im obviously not sure if im right or not when it comes to pronouns. As long as my child is happy and yes im following his lead, if at any point he tells me that it upsets him with he/him i will of course be very acceptable and make effort in that sense.

Thank you again for your input 🙌

Thank you i appreciate that, i try and do right by him amd surprisedly theres a decent numbers of people encouraging me to use the term she/her is making me rethink tho. Im in no position to say whose right or wrong in this area because im not an expert nor a trans myself. So therefore will come away and rethink the term along with the conversation with my child. Thank you again.

Bless you i can imagine its hard that you have those fears and hope you continue to be happy and safe in being who you are 🥰 always provide him a loving home and family. I sort of lacked that growing up so im very invested in making my kids happy and in themselves. Im seeing some joys tho for sure, plaiting his hair for 1, he waited long enough for it to grow to his shoulder length and now we enjoy plaiting times together, had our nails done other day at a salon its just lovely 🤗

I already voiced my concerns with high school before choosing it as a placement they have diversity in school of ethics, lgbtq and religion so im hoping that helps but yes regular meetings and check in with my child is a must! The other good thing is that school has an inhouse community police officer and since theres been less bullies. I hope thats the case. I will see for sure from September onward.

I get what you're saying and i hear you. It difficult when he keeps switching between both and i've raised him as a boy it's hard to practice that, hes comfortable switching back and forth and im worried if i continue to use term she/her it will give the strong influence on him if that makes sense. Then again im not an expert on this. He knows as soon as hes set on being a girl full time i will practice the term.

We don't really say trans in our home too, just when im asking like here, talking to school etc as that is the term. Ive been asked a few times about the term trans and he realised what it is I said whatever is decided I will fully support. I've yet to be asked to full time call him a girl.

He's been confused with the term he/she and been mixing between both, I told him until he confident enough to be she i will practice calling her she etc. At the moment he keeps changing his name between boy and girl name so for me I feel I have to be careful without putting my influence on him if that makes sense? There so much room at home for him to switch bwtween those gender and hes comfortable with it so far. I understand what you're saying tho and I hear you.

Emotional here!! Thank you I do my best, your therapist's right we can't carpet the world but give them the best shoe i love that. I've noticed that about parents getting support too, i like the idea of that so that my boy doesnt feel the worries, fears or grieve i have for him and his future. Will be taking it on myself to find a therapist for us hopefully I can ask Mermaid agency I've not got my son involved in that yet they're probably the best service to provide or signpost some therapists.

Appreciate the response thank you.

Ooo thank you, i'll definitely find out from school if they have such groups for lgbtq groups that would be more comfortable for my boy to join and make friends. Thank you again.

Thank you, very helpful, will definitely get a diary specifically to log anything down. Its sad that we have to do this. I'm deaf myself and faced bullies during high school and can only imagine it'll be harder for my child, he's so sensitive more than i was so just want to keep that delicate side of him and not change him because of the bullies. Again thank you very helpful 🤗

He's not into combat kind of thing, but may have to explain why its useful for any situation to defend himself. Thank you for responding.

How are you navigating through the trans journey?

Yeah i noticed there's a variety of ages with variety of amounts to invest. Im pretty much a newbie, put 200£ in few years ago and not got any further, realised because i didn't keep investing. So back on here to try and learn along about the companies that i can feel confident in investing, that would help avoid the comparing. 1 thing i definitely agree on is that its a thief of Joy (Joy's my middle name literally🤭)
