I can so relate. When I first saw my kids new name in print, I was devastated. He’s off at college and estranged from us. I am going through all the years wondering WTH did I do wrong. I am listening to all the podcasts and reading all that I can find. What to do next. Anything? I took a break from stalking online for my sanity. I just started again and am wondering how a profoundly gifted kid can not question the ideology? I let my family convince me he was alright. Well, he’s not. I should always listen to my intuition, my mama bear intuition. I’m glad you are posting on PITT.

I can relate - aren't parents always looking for an angle, a way through the gender forest to reach our kid? To get them to understand that we are questioning it because we believe they are being groomed into believing a fantasy that will never give them true lasting happiness. We know that it will be on us to pick up the pieces.
