[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or you could reach out to PFLAG, the gender clinic at Children's https://childrensnational.org/news-and-events/childrens-newsroom/2015/childrens-national-opens-youth-pride-clinic-for-district-lgbt-youth or any number of other resources. Jut because your child's announcement seems "sudden" to you doesn't mean that it hasn't been well thought out by the child over a long period of time. Trans kids are at huge risk of suicide and other self-harming behaviors. Family support is a tremendous protective factor. Whether your child eventually decides to transition or not is less important than whether your child is happy, healthy, and alive.[/quote] Stop spreading this stuff! Before your child does anything dramatic find out what else could be going on. Anxiety, depression, trauma, not fitting in. Studies have shown teens who transition are just as unhappy as they were pretransition. [/quote]
