My Daughter Identified as Transgender. I Was Powerless to Stop Doctors From Harming Her.

I am a mother whose daughter has identified as transgender since the age of 14. I love her, and I care deeply about her and other kids who identify as transgender.

There are young people, like my daughter, who are in turmoil, and who are not getting the compassionate care that they need and deserve.

I’m going to explain to you what happens when parents seek out expert advice to help their transgender-identifying children explore their feelings and discomfort with their sex.

The current standard of treatment promoted by medical and psychological associations is called “affirmative care.” While this sounds nice, affirmative care leads directly to putting children on the path to medical transition with little chance of turning back.

Wish I could help you or even fell sorry for you , I don't know what a transgender is. I do know that we have males and females that are born to us . End of discussion .

I just finished a book by Andrew Walker on the transgender issue. Not sure of the title. I just returned it. I highly recommend this book. It is marvelous. Deals with the very things you are addressing and it is affirming of your beliefs. The left and the politically correct people will not give you the other side of this issue. Hope you read it.

I am sorry but your daughter has a mental illness and maybe you should start there!!!! I don't give a god damn what you people think or say, if you were born a girl, with girl parts, you are a girl biologically... if you were born a boy and have boy parts, you are a boy biologically... You can "THINK" you are one way or another, and that doesn't make it so... And you have no right, to tell me how I should talk to or say to these kinds of people... For god sake you think someone who is uninterested in something, aka not focused on something, you claim they have ADHD... There are no god damn medical test to prove any of these things you people claim, and as such, it is not true...

When you have the flu, you can take test and have symptoms that PROVE you have the flu, there are none for trans people, because it is a mental illness... It is funny how all of you stupid people will say ADHD is a mental illness, and needs drugs to fix, which is false, but OK lets go with it, then why is transgenderism not a mental illness too??? You are thinking you are something that you are not, you want to be something that you are not...

It is one thing to want to be a boy or girl when you are not, biologically, but it is another thing for you to think you have a right to FORCE ME to call some stupid pronoun that you are not... And since you have to FORCE people to do this, that is where the problem lies...

If my daughter wanted to kiss other girls I wouldn't be happy about it but if some doctor gave her medication that would make her grow a beard I would be ready to kill.

Amen 2:06 pm. Spot on. If I think I’m a dog and I lay on the ground barking and I attempt to walk around on all fours, chances are, I’m going to be sent to a hospital or mental ward. If I identify as someone or something else, I have issues. Simple as that.

Never had this problem until the last 10 years or so. A girl was a girl, she wore dresses, played with dolls, didn't want to get her clothes dirty, etc. A boy was a boy, wore jeans, played army with his friends, rolled around in the dirt just for fun, etc. So what has changed? I'll tell you, parenting that's what. Being involved in your childs lives and guiding them down a successful path.

If she wants to identify as something different she should identify as a suitcase. That way she could fly for free. She may as well get something useful out of this.

Psychologist and psychiatrists in this area support "gender confusion identity" and do little to steer a child in the right direction, been there so I know.

I agree with all that, and there is no such thing as bi-polar. That's just an excuse to be an asshole

Doctors can not harm or change her if her parents don't take her to them.

As my husband has been diagnosed as a rapid cycling bipolar with manic depression ....it does give him an excuse to be quite an asshole. But there is something wrong mentally as he can also be suicidal without his meds.

When I was growing up, if I said I was a dog and acted like one, my mother would have put a collar on me, put me out in the yard and fed me the same dog food the dog got and I would have been expected to stay in the dog house overnight. A few hours of that and I wouldn't think I was a dog any more. Now, if you think you feel like a boy, your parents rush you to a doctor to get you sexual reassignment drugs. It's not just the kids who have the mentalmproblema, the parents do too.
