In a similar boat. I hope that the love and time are on our sides.

It is a relief to see this post from PITT, after reading the appeasement post from yesterday, seemingly criticizing Abigail Shrier, Lisa Littman and Kara Dansky for appearing on Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly, both known as right of center journalists. An MSNBC anchor insisted strongly a few months ago that puberty blockers are reversible. This is untrue. I emailed him with references, no response. The "main stream" media is failing, as they have been captured by Hollywood influences, Oprah, Dr. Phil and others who love the attention that this phenomenon will give their channels. It is pandering and conflict of interest, and it is a shame for kids who are influenced.

There is still quite a lot that will happen before this child reaches 18. The process of puberty, when not tampered with by the shots or pills of wrong sex hormones, may take this daughter on the path of healing. I recommend as much outside nature as possible. I also recommend finding a charity such as Heifer International (heifer.org, no pronouns after names there) and look into the "Send a Girl to School" donation. $275 to help a family in a place where girls are not educated, they are kept home. Making family albums of the women you come from may influence your daughter to have a more connected sense of her "herstory". Women were not all downtrodden and barefoot in the kitchen. My grandmother drove the tractor too.

And WARNING! often the mental health deteriorates after medicalization has started. Emelie Kohler, detransitioner in Sweden, interviewed on Whose Body Is It YouTube channel, describes this, now that she has experienced it herself and heard of it from other desisters. The "therapists" mistakenly think the process should be sped up when this happens. A completely different thought stream should be taken. Good luck. For more info of all kinds, uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com I do not ask for money, I do this to save kids, especially girls. Erin Brewer of Advocates For Children has a moving testimonial out today on her journey away from the cross-sex ideation, which stemmed from sexual abuse.
