Sil cancelled visit as our dd wants to be a man.

[Moomoola]

our lovely dd has been getting more isolated from us. On sun she left a note and ran off to her friends house for a few nights to think things through. Friend 17 is having hormones to be a man. Dd threatened the same. She wears a breast binder. They are going out together and there is much subterfuge and lies. We’ve never said anything as far as we are aware, dd onv thinks differently.
Yesterday Dh told his sister who livesabroad and she has immediately cancelled them all coming to stay tomorrow. She doesn’t want her 14 dd to be influenced as she is going out with a girl.
it’s so sudden, we’ve been excited for months. She’s telling her dd it’s due to strikes. What do I tell mine?
do I say strikes or do I tell the truth - it’s a consequence of you leaving us a note and running off.
it’s been horrible and now what should have been fun is depressing and there’s also no reason for dd to come back now when she finds out.
also what do I do with dd?!

Those cards are disgusting.
And how are they not perceived as transphobic, as they associate a certain kind of body (flat-chested) with being a man? Surely if you believe "man" is a gender identity it's perfectly fine - if not encouraged! - to have breasts while living as a man?

If my daughter bought into these fads and insisted that I now call her James, I'd use Mike's tactic in Friends, when Phoebe changed her name:

Ok, that didn't work, try again

LOL! 😂

😀very funny! Thank you for the laugh!

@clutchingatpearls that is fascinating. I have no need to know this stuff but I went thru his videos and it definitely sounds like a Scientology documentary I watched years ago !

No advice but you sound like a great Mum

Thank you! Don’t feel it that’s for sure.

This is a thread by an amazing mum - in case it’s interesting. It’s part 2, part 1 explains how her dd was vulnerable
it’s scared the pants off me.

Thanks clutchingatoearls for linking me to part 1 above.
I had NO IDEA this is what I’m fighting against, I feel so stupid and naive!
am handing in notice today. It looks like this is my new job.

I had to stop reading that article. It sickened me that it's legal and even celebrated to mutilate young girls.

Thanks all.
agree facelike I had no idea this was going on, now I see awful videos encouraging and celebrating cutting off your transphobe family and this. If you don’t you’re not trans enough.
meanwhile there are so much more useful things to be involved in.
