My daughter is 14 and told me she identifies as a male and has felt that for over a year. I know it took guts to tell me. She cried and apologised so I hugged and was supportive. I'm not happy though. She says she will tell her class this month which I'm dreading on her behalf. I've asked her if she is lesbian or wondered if Aspergers. She says no and that it kills her inside being a girl and upsets her when ppl including me, call her "she". I asked how she feels about her body she says disgusted by periods, lady parts etc. I'm concerned she's having an identity problem rather than defo gender problem.
I'm scared and unsure who to go to. I'm not wanting any of this and scared she'll get taken off me.
