No thanks. I'd have gotten off that 'medically transitioning' train long ago.
If the 11-year-old girl wants to be a boy... and is being convinced by doctors, the mother and the courts to have her breasts removed, puberty blockers and other surgeries... then I would NOT go along with the program. No joint custody, I wouldn't use the "right pronouns" or do anything else to promote the harmful delusion. If mom, child, courts, school, and doctors all want to inflict damage on the child... then I won't be around to be a cheer leader, or support it in any way.
If it were my child, I would tell her that I love her and would support her being gay or if she wanted to transition after the age of 18. However, the doctors, schools, courts and mother urging her to transition at age 11 is seriously damaging. I will NOT participate in all of that.
Later if life, if the child needs to heal from the emotional and psychological damages imposed by those others... I will be there for her. (NOT with the 'mother' anywhere in the picture though). That child is being put on a quick path to suicide... and mother is helping to cause it. It's not the child's fault... but healing can't begin until the child is completely away from the evil influences.
