[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure this post will be deleted but your daughter is only 11.  She’s not trans, she’s feeling awkward about her body which is probably developing faster than her peers and her mental and emotional capacity to deal with it.  Be an actual good parent and help her navigate the awkwardness (which MOST kids will experience to some degree or another around puberty) without potentially ruining her life.

If she still feels she’s trans at 18 then feel free to support her/him in that area then.[/quote][/quote]

You’re so right. My buying her a sports bra or binder is irreversible. Thanks for talking me down. [/quote]

You misunderstand.  It’s your encouragement of her idea that she is trans that may potentially lead to some irreversible, life-ruining decisions.

I get it though, you’re a woke liberal mom and it’s super trendy and cool to have a trans kid.  Good luck.[/quote]

NP here, I actually am a liberal mom.  BTW woke is not the pejorative you think it is, all it means is that you are aware of and educated on social injustices.  Anyway, the only part of your post I agree with is that 11 might be a tad young (re: trans) but definitely nothing wrong with buying a compression sports bra for someone who is more developed than her peers.  It's not fun being (relatively) big chested amongst your peers.  GL.[/quote]

Np.  A sports bra is fine, but binders can actually be dangerous, especially to a developing body.  They can cause permanent damage to the rib cage and breast tissue.  Op should be careful.  [/quote]

I agree with this post. Sports bra. Binders aren't meant for children that are still growing. [/quote]
