Trans identifying teens- HELP

I wanted to ask if anyone here has/had a teenage girl identifying as a trans boy during their teens 13-19 that then decided to return to their original gender. My kid is 15 and has been identifying as trans since the onset of puberty ( like thousands are now) and although I have allowed them to transition socially I'm withholding any other intervention until they are an adult in the hope that this too shall pass. I'm torn in two. the supportive mum in the daylight and the grieving mother at night. It is exhausting. This is all accompanied with depression, social anxiety and a lot of missed school days for my kid. I'm at my wits end, NOT a transphobe but a concerned parent that just feels deep inside that my kid got caught in the gender politics cross fire, via the internet and social media, at a very young age to understand it. It's like a hear a parrot reciting the lexicon of lgbtq+ terminology.
Anyone with similar experience and some hope?

Thank you all. Unfortunately the social transition has happened and they are not a kid but a fully developed teenager. Their chosen name at the time was gender neutral in case they channged their mind but has now come to me and said they are considering to change it into a more masculine LOL. No way I'm doing this again. If anyone here has stories of detransition or going back to the original gender please hit me. I need some hope. the rest I;ve already considered.
Many thinks in advance
