Thanks for sharing your story Melody. I am sorry that you are going thru this trans nightmare with your daughter. I also have a trans identified 30 year old daughter who lives overseas & I have no contact with. I am fortunate that I have very supportive friends that understand my non affirmation of her new name & pronouns & identity.

I'm not sure I would continue a friendship if that friend wouldn't be willing to understand my feelings & that I would have to watch what I did or didn't say to them. To me this lack of support that you are finding when you have "the talk" with some of your friends would be a deal breaker for me. Trans ideology & the hurt & pain that it inflicts on so many families is way more important to me than any friendship. It seems to me that you are finding out who your real friends are & are not.
I hope you be could be kinder to yourself & care less about what others think or say. You know your truth & you need to know that you have so much support out there! Your thoughts & feelings are real & nobody has the right to question them. Bless you & may all our kids come back to us!
Thank you very much for your kind words Deadnames, Our eyes give us vision but our lives give us insight. Not everyone has our unique view, not we theirs. I think we can still care about them. We just can't talk to them about everything. Also, people have different thresholds of deal breaker. As we have learned painfully. Bless you too
