School was a nightmare tbh because when they “came out” they became a cause celebre with a lot of the girls who all wanted to virtue signal how cool they were with a trans friend. For a kid who was ostracized throughout primary school because they were functioning years ahead of their peers it was intoxicating to suddenly have all these “friends” and girls interested in them. It was heady stuff for them to suddenly be invited to parties and have people want to hang out with them. Girls wanted to “date” them because as a trans “dude” they were safe. No real “toxic masculinity “ or a dick to worry about. This focus lasted for more about a year until exam pressure started then everyone dropped our girl like a brick when they focussed on their own shit. It was horrifying to watch them be so hurt all over again when their “friends” suddenly couldn’t be bothered with them because they were wrapped up with their newest fad. They couldn’t understand that their “friendships” had been a trend that was now over. It also destroyed our 2nd daughters school life as they moved up into the middle school and got bullied relentlessly by boys because of their “weirdo” “gay” sibling and it led to us pulling her from school to home Ed. Thankfully she’s done really well independently and is doing well in education. The impact of this shit on family is horrific as it sucks the oxygen out of family life for our other kids, we walk on eggshells sometimes because of our mentally ill daughter. They are now working with a decent therapist who’s helping them a lot but it’s a long road. We’re just try ankful to god that our kid is still with us, perfectly imperfect as she is.
