What should i do? My 12 year old child has left me a note telling me they dont like being female, they dont like their hair long their voice but they want me to be proud. Obviously more in the note but its come from no where of my knowledge ( im guessing for them its not from no where) i have read so much and am still at a loss. I love my child for who they are not what they look like or what gender they are. I have let her know that ive read it and am proud of her for letting me know and that we will have a clearer talk when their little brother is not around. Its a shock but im more shocked that their worried about how i would feel their happiness is all that matters!
I feel guilty for calling them by their gender or name as this was clearly stated they want to be called he and a name. But i am just lost please could anyone offer any advice
