Every instinct a parent has in this situation is to share gender-critical info with the child. This is exactly the WRONG THING and can backfire. She should sign up with @SashaLPC patreon and get her excellent 3-part advice. Part 1--listen and empathize. GC info comes later.

There's no magic answer--differs for every family. I don't entirely agree one should totally avoid "gender critical" info/resources. Exposure to detransitioner blogs/videos can be important, even if not received w/ total openness at the time. Sometimes impact is realized later.
