Parents of trans teenagers?

So when my 16 yr old came out as trans to us early this year, I thought I would venture on to Mumsnet to see if there were any other parents going through the same experience.
I haven't posted much over the years on here and hadn't looked at chat for a good while, so now realise I was a bit naive in thinking that I would find advice or calm discussion on this topic.
Every single thread I have read in the sex and gender discussion category is from gender critical or LGB Alliance supporters and they are a little bit hostile to trans people to put it mildly.

So I was just wondering if there were any brave souls out there willing to have a more neutral discussion, especially if you have a child going through this at the moment.

I'm probably being naive again to think this is possible in the current climate but there we are. And to anyone thinking of posting gender critical views in response to this, I have read your views at great length on many other threads, so I'm good thanks.

Hi OP,

We mailed you earlier this evening to ask if you'd like us to move your thread over to our LGBT Children topic. As you've now said on the thread that you'd like it moved, we'll do that for you now.
