You failed, yet you deign to give advice instead of asking for it. So here’s some from a dad who won the battle: Your daughter needs to see strong female role models. Even fantasy will work on her subconscious while she sleeps.

You failed, yet you deign to give advice instead of asking for it. So here’s some from a dad who won the battle: Your daughter needs to see strong female role models. Even fantasy will work on her subconscious while she sleeps.
Janeway and Seven from Star Trek Voyager, Captain Marvel (you’ll cry when Bree Larson says “My name is Carol,”), Elizabeth Olsen in Wanda-vision, and all the female characters in ABCs “Once Upon a Time” (especially the evil ones). And Jenna Ortega’s “Wednesday” kicks ass. This process takes years but you have lots to binge watch together.
If she’s binding, it’s tough, only her mom can take it from her. Never medicalize under age 18. Be a man, tough love. EMDR therapy with a non-affirming therapist to deal with real or imagined early childhood trauma. A Stella Ganglion Block to reset her nervous system. You’re dealing with methylated neurons and brain plasticity. It takes time. And lastly, prayer (for you), and cannabis (for her, to quell her inner demons (far more effective and benign than her shrinks pharmaceuticals).
Social media’s a bitch, but the tide is turning. Lots of young Detrans girls now like Chloe and Helena for your daughter to deal with. Listen to every podcast from Stella and Sasha (“Gender, a wider lens”) and bribe (or challenge) your daughter to listen to several you think best for her. Let her argue their points. She will eventually confront her own illogic.
You will still lose the battle if you and your wife are not on the same page. If that’s the case, then you can only appeal to God.
"You failed". Inappropriate judgement, how would you know?
The other suggestions you made may ir may not be good ones, but I do like the idea of them both watching and discussing detransitioner testimonies.
The daughter needs to understand that Dad is motivated 100% by love for her and that there is more to the trans picture than what has been told to her.
I forgot to mention psilocybin mushroom therapy and nutritional smoothies. I shouldn’t have said failed—his daughter is still young enough to save if he ignores sanctimonious fools.
This guy is desperate and u offer nothing but condolences.
I know my stuff. I went through 5 years of ROGD hell—butch blue hair, baggy clothes, nose ring, begging for T like it’s super-serum, and hideous self-harm. U can’t imagine. But I stood firm, researched endlessly, read all the books, and listened to 1000 hours of podcasts. (Starting with Lisa Marchiano in 2017. God bless her).
My baby is now 19, gorgeous, with long blond braids. Her body is healthy and her fertility is intact. I wish the same for him and all other fathers in his situation. I thank God for his grace and help in my situation. So GTFU. Yeah, I’m crass. All these comments make me want to puke. We’re trying to save a generation of young women.
Thank you for adding more information. I am glad you succeeded in rescuing your daughter and no, I can't imagine what you went through. Interesting that you mention psilocybin therapy as just last night I was telling a friend how doing one minor dose (about 15 mushrooms) rescued me from the habit of being depressed when I was a teenager, by helping me experience the wonder of being alive and the power of my soul for lack of a more precise term.
If you attended to my comment you would notice I offered more than just condolences.
You do seem to be in the habit of insulting people as I imagine your GTFU comment fits. It is always wrong and counterproductive to do so, as Jesus explained when He addressed that topic in scripture . It is macho rather than manly and particularly counterproductive to insult the people on your own team in a battle. For all you know, your attitudes were one of the factors that caused your child to trans-identify, though again I don't know that. So, if you are telling me to GTFU, I recommend you take some of the medicine you recommend for me and address others respectfully like a mature adult. Build people up rather than demeaning them.

Really? You failed? Just what a parent who experiencing this trauma needs to hear. Come on!
