My cousin is 14, born a female and now "out" as a ftm transgender. It's honestly a sad story. She knows I'm conservative but we talked about it for a while and why she wants to be a boy.
She said puberty was uncomfortable and she hated getting her period. She's always been athletic so she didn't like that boys got stronger and better at sports than her as she got older. "It feels like no matter how hard I try as a girl I'll never be as good so nothing is worth it." - her words. She said she thought girly stuff was stupid and never really liked it, and that she was afraid of being sexualized as she got older. She said she thinks she's trans because all her friends are boys and she never liked wearing dresses and stuff.
Interestingly enough, she's actually kind of conservative for her age on a lot of issues. She's made fun of Biden before and likes hunting and fishing and stuff. She likes Trump.
Just thought I'd offer a first person account I guess. It's a sad story.
She is just a tom boy not a trans. I grew up never wearing dresses. I was good looking when I was younger and I did not like being sexualized either but it is what it is.
She is going to regret transitioning. If she thinks she doesnt like her periods wait till she has to shave every day and still has stubble she cannot get rid of.
Transitioning will not make her faster or stronger in the end she is a women regardless of what she looks like.
I really hope she hasnt gone too far yet because once she does she will be totally unhappy with no way to go back to her original form.
She hasn't started hormones or anything yet, and her parents are against that. She started wearing a binder and got a shorter haircut, like just less than shoulder length.
Binders cause permanent damage, see what you can do to inform/show her that. One of mine was such a tom boy, quite the bad ass, was in boxing and loved being in the outdoors. When she hit middle school they somehow convinced her she was gay and that she needed to get her breasts removed - she was 12. We pulled her out of middle school and home schooled her for two years until we could get her into a charter high school. Half way through her freshmen year she had a beautiful long hombre haircut, a cute boyfriend an appropriate relationship with him for a pair of 14 year olds, and she was happy with herself again. We had a hard long road deprogramming her, but it was never a battle, we just did it with love and information and by showing her truths. Good luck fren, at least you guys can have conversations so keep them going.
If her parents prevent her from making physical changes to her body, she'll almost certainly come to accept her body and will turn out fine.
This is a prime example of the consequences of DS propaganda of gender confusion. Have kids think something is wrong with themselves when nothing is wrong.
