[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my dd was 11/12 she cut her hair boy short, asked for a binder, and started wearing androgynous clothes. We did not agree to the binder, let her wear whatever sports bras she felt comfortable with, supported her with everything else.

She’s 16 now and wears a bikini to the pool and identifies as a girl.

I wouldn’t rush into anything permanent unless you are sure sure sure, like your kid has identified as a boy from a very young age. This was a phase for our dd. [/quote]

I am OP. I’m totally open to this happening this way. I’m really only asking about bras. People here are very reactive thinking I’m asking about more. I’ve been pretty clear about what we are asking. It’s amazing how many people want to turn it into more. As if I’m scheduling my 11 year old for surgery. [/quote]

I wasn’t trying to attack, just to give you a perspective for when you asked “should I let my 11 year old wear a binder?” And my response was to wait, because some 11 year olds (like mine) just hated their growing chest and thought maybe that hate meant she was a boy. I was open to whatever (as it sounds like you are!) and I’m glad we didn’t do the binder because she is comfortable with her female form to this day. I know it’s a confusing time for both of you, just take it one step at a time. [/quote]

Then why did you say "don't rush into anything permanent" when OP is asking about an article of clothing that isn't permanent at all, and wouldn't have prevented her from becoming comfortable with her female form at all?[/quote]

Speaking of a poster who comments without reading the whole thread...[/quote]
