gender Fluid 16yo? Is this real?

[annalikespaint]

My 16yo daughter came to me last night and told me she believes she is gender-fluid. she described it as someone whose gender changes over time, but I've never heard of it. I am very worried for her and concerned it has something to do with her friends or Social Medias? I've been worrying about it all day.

Her emotions (and hormones) are all over the place. She needs you to be her rock at the moment, whatever your feelings are about it.

It’s real for her. I’d just be there to listen (without judging).

I'd never heard of it either!

I guess all you can do is be there to listen and be open minded, let her know you are supportive and will love her unconditionally

Completely normal and dare I say it understandable. The porn/shit shared online at school is horrific.

ie I amtotally relieved my DD is gender fluid. I think I might be too.😄

As long as she understands she’s a girl, that her sex is female, then gender really isn’t important.

I think i will have another conversation with her tonight to better understand what she's feeling. I want her to feel loved and that she can rely on me.

I would relax aboutit. Everyone is "gender fluid" atm.

Honestly as a parent of a teen I think its a bit worrying you have never head of gender fluid. Do you know about being non binary or a sexual? If not you maybe need to do some research so you can support your teen. These are all things that are very important in their world and not being aware of them is not a good starting position for being supportive.

It's all the rage. How she is feeling is probably the feeling of wanting to fit in with her peers.
