Hi! I'm new here and hoping to get some help. My 15 year old daughter thinks she is a trans male. She talks about it off and on every few months. Today my mother pulled me aside and showed me a message my daughter sent her about being trans. She wants to come out to the public that she is male. It honestly really scares me that she thinks this way, but I will support her as she is my child. I just told her that I hope she waits till she is older and more mature to make the life changing decision to get any type of surgery.
The thing is though in the last year she has shown no signs of not liking to be a girl. Her 15th birthday was in May and she begged me to take her to get fitted for and buy some really cute and sexy bras. She also had to have have the perfect bikini for summer.
She went shopping yesterday and bought new dresses with her own money and just had to have new makeup to go with it. She posts on her facebook pictures of how she wants her relationship to be and they are pictures of women and men cuddling.
On top of all of that she asks me about being pregnant and what it is like to have a baby because she can't wait to have children with "Johnation" (the boyfriend
When she acts like this I get really confused. I don't know what to think or how to act. She gets really mad that I don't truly think she is transgender.
Heck, two months ago she kept telling me she was lesbian.
I don't care what she is, but I want her to be happy and she isn't since she can't figure out what she is or who she is it seems.
