[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened with my daughter a few years ago. It's scary stuff. Before you talk to a therapist, you need to read about what's going on with teens these days. There's an explosion - especially in teen girls - that press does not report. Also, most therapists practice the "affirmation" model, which means they will just agree with your teen's self-diagnosis. I URGE you to question this. I went along with the therapist and things got so much worse. I now realize, after buying the binder, supporting name change, etc. that my daughter is not transgender, but has a lot more deeper issues that she needs help with. I urge you to read 4thwavenow.com. There are many stories there just like mine - with very few happy endings. [/quote] I urge you to listen to your child. 4th Wave Now is a trans-exclusionary feminist site--- and if you child child is trans, affirming them could save their life. I would contact Stacey Karpen, LCSW. https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/name/Stacey_L_Karpen_PhD,LPC,NCC_Washington_District+of+Columbia_257292 [/quote]
