I really do feel bad for people like this. You can't treat an internal struggle with an external solution. Instead of being enjoyed to just be themselves and comfortable in their own skin, they either convinced themselves, or someone(s) else convinced them that if ONLY they transitioned, they would be happier.
Spoiler: I'm female. I consider myself semi tomboyish. I dislike dresses, and preferred more mechanical toys instead of barbie dolls (even though I did have a few favorite plushies and stuffed animals.)
And this was ok for me. I like what I liked. I played (still played) video games, yu-gi-oh, watched anime, went into robotics classes in my high school. I never tried to 'fit in' with the other girl clicks, inside I just participated in things I liked, regardless of how 'male' dominant those areas seemed to be. I didn't care, and I wasn't ashamed.
There was one time however that I was criticized by my own mother that did piss me off. See, I happened to get my hands on a few pairs of sports shorts that fit and felt comfortable to where they'd just be my "walking around the house" kind of cloths, inside of just pjs, or nightgowns.
My mother disliked me wearing them for some reason, and made a snide remark about "Just get the surgery already". I did snap back at her and my father did defend me.
So, .. I guess I get it, that there are external pressures, pro and con, that could push someone in this direction. For me, I'm lucky enough that I (somehow) just grew up doing my own thing and being comfortable in it. I don't know what positive guiding forces in my life could have prepared me to just accept me for me. Maybe it's up to us individually to figured ourselves out.
Point being (and sorry for the ramble) I can't help but see posts like this and feel sorry and pity them.
I hope that, whatever the future has for them, with the irreparable damage they and other's have done to themselves, that they can try to find some kind of peace with it and move forward. Some good things can come from the bad. I pray they can find it.
I have one daughter like you. Mechanical, athletic amd a bit of a tom boy, but she is happily married to a man who likes to do guy shit and she simply enjoys it with him.
They work on cars together. Do cabinet making etc.
Yep. The lines were rightfully blurred on male vs female interests. Who cares if she plays video games or dislikes dresses? Video games are a medium like movies or books. (Male) Warriors of ages past literally wore glorified skirts.
Fashion changes. Fashion is also inexplicable sometimes and varies from class to class.
If nothing else, people need to come to terms with who they are, and not reject it. Improve themselves, yes. Strive for better quality of life, absolutely.
But if you were born male or female, that's just what you are.
You might make some fashion choices that are questionable, or you might rock that Scottish kilt.
But at least you make those choices based on who you are instead of rejecting it.
We don't get to choose our sex. We may not choose the sex we're attracted to, even.
But we absolutely make a decision when we reject ourselves.
I heard someone say not long ago: they're just confused.
There are a lot of them, too. They've been lied to by hell itself because the enemy HATES who they are, who they are meant to be, and who they will/can become.
And, I think our clean pretty facilities we have for churches are about to get flooded with these beautifully broken people. Because nothing can heal the real wounds they have but Jesus.
They are confused. And some of them will violently flail their arms and yell at you.
But this is what happens when you grow complacent. It's also what happens when you stand unwavering.
It's better to strongly control cultural progression to ensure that it doesn't become too bonkers than it is to plug your ears and strictly refuse it while it changes around you anyway.
We need to clean up messes left for us by the complacent and immovable masses that came before or even alongside us, and we need to figure out a way to strongly push out the trans bullshit if nothing else.
I am strongly convinced that at least 90% of our problems comes from breaking people's minds and causing them to reject themselves and think everyone else is rejecting them too.
You’re confident. That’s why. These people have insecurity issues. Their confidence comes from other peoples validation or material things.
One thing I do agree with these looney bins is that there is no fixed gender occupations or hobbies. Most of these interests are gender neutral and shouldn’t be stereotyped. If people have an inclination or are good at something, they should pursue it without gender judgement. It shouldn’t be forced though. The stereotypes exist for a reason bc they can apply to a large swath of people but equally large amounts of people could fall outside of the stereotype.

Well she is also a blackhawk mech and aerospace engineer.
I'm not very Athletic, wish I was though. Still! Glad you're daughter is happy being who she is. :)
