Family members telling me they “always felt” my decision to transition was a mistake. I ask “why didn’t you say anything back then?” They reply “we didn’t want to upset you.” Please, upset me. If you have concerns about someone you love – talk to them about it. It might help.

I am legitimately afraid to talk to my 14 year old FTM’s school bc of the stories about child protective services getting involved. I think their early conversations about gender identity planted the seeds for this identity crisis. She’s planning on HRT and a mastectomy at 18.
I’d look for a therapist who doesn’t focus on gender. If she can speak to a professional who will focus on any other issues she may have, who can dig into where her dysphoria came from and exactly when it developed, an alternative treatment that isn’t HRT may be identified.

Good advice, and also tell the school to 'Not' interfere if theres an issue to contact you or partner, don't surmise or suggest. console and comfort of course.

Yes. So far, only a few friends know. She’s been told that pronouns and a name change are off the table but I’ve seen other kids get bolder as they get older. In CA, they will honor both if the kid asks without parental consent.

She’s seeing a good therapist who is doing exactly that. I think it’s all an escape from reality.

Exactly. I wish you both the very best for the future
