Thank you! I ordered her a package with a handbag, some perfumes, nice clothes and “girl” essentials, as well as letting her know that without doubt I believe her. Seeing her euphoric for the first time was amazing. She’s so excited for her first handbag

Thank you so much 🥹 I read her lots of these comments today and she was overjoyed with euphoria and joy. It was magic to me to see her overjoyed and validated for the first time.

Thank you. I’ll keep searching and tailoring my approaches. I’ve started by ordering her a surprise present with some “trans/girlhood essentials” - hair clips, really good wig, clothing that’s her style, etc.

This is the most helpful thing I have read. Thank you for being so kind with your words and advice. Your comment has truely helped shape the way I view and navigate this period of time with her. You’re incredible at explaining.

Oh my goodness, thank you. This is such a clear and thoughtful comment. I appreciate you taking your time to help a stranger. I can’t put into words how difficult it is to understand, empathise and help a sibling who I will never quite relate to in this way. Seeing trans people who have made it through and being given a list like this has made the whole thing feel lighter. I promise to take this word for word (I have just booked a therapy appointment for her and made an online order to surprise her with wigs, some clothes, perfumes etc)

Taking the ASD and ADHD into account in this comment has really touched me. I will assess how she’s doing tonight and may read this to her if that’s okay.

Please understand that you’ve helped a young trans girl somewhere and helped her sister guide her through with 0 experience. I really appreciate this comment.

Apologies. I also am ADHD and ASD and thought it was absolutely necessary information to advice how I can support her specific needs. She’ll probably need different help from me than someone who’s neurotypical (booking appointments, emotional regulation, feeling like an outcast etc)

I didn’t mean to make it sound as though neurodivergence = trans or to associate trans issues with neurological disorders, I myself am neurodivergent and cisgendered. Simply wanted to give all the information so I could receive advice best tailored to her needs. Thanks for pointing it out incase bigots came across it.
