I've posted occasionally about my daughter who out of the blue declared herself transgender. I was scared and confused but I've lurked on here and followed links and whilst being supportive and using her preferred name and pronoun I've also questioned and challenged her gently.
She moved schools (to an independent specialist autism school) and lockdown happened (she still went to school) and slowly things started to change. The moods and the tears lessened, the strops if I used the wrong name ceased, her choice of clothes altered, she stopped denying she had any interest in things she considered feminine and reverted to being the person she was before she decided otherwise.
Last week she sent me a text saying she was sorry for having been such an arse these past few years and thanking me for being there.
So thank you to all on here whose wisdom I've read and whose links I have followed, you might not have known but it helped enormously.

I'm so pleased for you, and her. Thanks

That is lovely news OP; at the very least it sounds like you're probably getting on better so that is great in of itself.
