Signs your child may be transgender

[TheShoesa]

Does anyone know where I can find the Mermaids (I think) training slide which lists the signs your child is transgender (and which from memory lists most of the feelings teenagers have!)

I have done a quick search online and can't find it.

Do you mean this TheShoesa?

It's not a Mermaids training slide, it was from a presentation by Aydin Olson-Kennedy at a conference. Mermaids tweeted a photo of the slide

That's the one, thank you!

No wonder my searches didn't turn anything up..

Other ways transgender may present... Autism, adhd etc? If it's a cause, does this mean autism can be cured with by transitioning? Wtf

It's dreadful, isn't it?

Going by that list, existing and going through puberty are signs of GD.

Interesting slide on that link with the Venn diagram - GD overlaps with ASD and ADHD, but not with 'trauma' for which the listed signs/symptoms are "lack impulse control or the ability to think through consequences before acting" among others. So I guess they are saying that won't be an aspect of GD so any worries about understanding long-term consequences can be brushed away?!

Grief and poor family relationships???

Some people do seem to be saying that.
