Before anyone starts hating on me I am one for live and let live. I have no issues with transgender and other such things. I really do believe in just letting people be people and judging if I like people based on their actions and words NOT on their age/race/gender/sexuality etc. My erractic friendship circle is proof of this. However in this case I am really upset because of the following concerns:
My DD is already currently being bullied, both verbally and physically at school. She is a timid child and often comes home upset. School are helping but there's only so much they can do.
The name she has chosen is not just the same but the same (somewhat unusual) spelling.
My DD is old enough that there are kids in her school year who WILL see the magazines, covers and name in the press. I don't want to out myself but she is into double figures so not young kids here. We are talking hormonal kids old enough to see and understand this stuff.
Kids are mean and nasty. I've been there and my DD is already there. It took me 7 years to shake a nasty nickname I was given in primary school.
I am just dreading the bullying getting worse. It only takes ONE person to see it and start "Caitlyn was a man" and she could be stuck with it for years.
AIBU or I am I being PFB about this? Please someone reassure me I am over reacting :(

To be upset that Bruce Jenner has chosen my DDs name as her new identity?
