[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, glad to hear you're trying to understand and help your child.  This may be a definite thing or it may be a phase but you are right to take this seriously.  If your child does end up being transgender, she will need all your support and understanding.

FWIW, we have a number of transgender friends and my daughter has dated [b]some transgender boys. [/b] Transgender people can have rewarding lives and a good family life just like anyone else.

You sound like a great mom.  Hang in there!

Really? Your dd has dated more than one transgendered boy? Is being transgendered really this common now? (Not trying to be an ass, sincerely curious). I remember in my high school there were like 3 gay kids out of 1,000 (who were out). I realize that being gay and transgendered are two different things but I'm honestly curious about how much has changed about gender identity and sexuality. Are there significant amounts of trans kids in your typical high school?[/quote]Well, it was a friendship network, so, yes, she dated multiple transgender boys because she knew them through each other.  They went to different schools but I imagine that they were drawn to each other through because of their similar experiences.    [/quote]
