[quote=Anonymous]My daughter told mre last week she is a boy. This is a girl who is 13 but developed late and still has barely any breasts. She was always interested in girls toys, clothes, etc and is so different  than her two brothers. In my gut I think she is a girl who is having social pressures to be something unique . She's always liked boys and had crushes on them since she was 5 and most of her friends (girls) now say they are bi or gay. This is a group
Of girls who have been friends since elementary school and now they are all labeling themselves . I can't say if it's true or a trendy thing to do. This group of girls and one or two gay boys ( who don't fit in socially but were never effeminate) are nerds and not high on the popularity scale
From
What I've been told .  I'm thinking that my daughter is being influenced by this group . She's tiny (less than 5 feet and like 90 lbs) and has absolutely no male traits. I'm concerned by some of the posts that claim most kids who identify as trans at 13 are really trans. It's just hard for me to believe these kids
Know how they feel when they've never touched anyone of the same or opposite sex (in this group at least I'm fairly certain) and have so many hormones constantly changing right now. My daughter wants to wear a binder for her chest. She doesn't even have anything to bind. I'm at a loss. I spoke to a gender specialist in the area who was recommended by her doctor but now I'm afraid to take her after reading some of the posts here. I also think they may have an agenda . Does anyone of a therapist in northern Virginia who is not a "gender" specialist but who is well educated on this issue? I am keeping my thoughts to myself  with her and trying to support her but don't want to do the wrong thing and hurt her. Her two older brothers (17 and 19) laughed and said it's trendy and she's a girl. My husband is concerned a little but thinks she's being overly influenced by her friends and by constantly conversing with them on her phone and being on the internet. It's almost like this is a hobby for her. Advice please!! I can't sleep.
