I need some advice for how to scout schools for my kid. She is 5. We are going to switch schools in 2-3 years and this year I need to research in case we need to move.

We are in Estonia, in Europe. My kid is the first one in a large city that we know of and is allowed to socially transition.

I asked her the other day “do you want me to tell people you are a girl if they call you a boy” and she said “no, they call me a boy anyways”

I hope she can be stealth at a new school but our national ID numbers have sex built into them.

So when looking at schools do I just straight out out her and ask how supportive they will be? Most people don’t catch the sex on the ID numbers and I don’t like outing her but I want a supportive school.

Many here say when I say she is a girl “she is young, she can change her mind” so now in Estonian when asked she says “I have time to decide” but with me in English it is I’m a girl I’m a girl. Maybe she will say “I want to be a boy” but it’s always superficial, because people call her a boy or because “boys are stronger than girls”.

I really want a supportive school because the one we are at are kinda supportive. They do it because I want it but obviously not really do it and I’m just sad for her that she has kinda given up (but now she is using it for her advantage at least going with the boys when it suits her, like being strong)

I understand why it was locked, but I just wanted to say that my daughter is autistic and has been on HRT for a few years now. If I can help, let me know

I have a 15 year old trans daughter (out for 1.5 yrs) who has no medical intervention at this point, but thinks she likely wants it at some point in the future. Separately, I've suspected for some time that she's on the autism spectrum. Taking some online assessments, she agrees with me. She says she wouldn't want to get diagnosed officially, though, because she might not be allowed to get hormones in the future if she has an autism diagnosis. Is this a real concern? Honestly I don't know whether an official diagnosis would be helpful or not to her life, but I'd like to understand the real pros and cons of it.

Right so I (17 FTM) need top surgery very badly. I have been out since I was 12, on T since I was 14, and I’m now stealth. I can’t go through another summer like this. My parents understand this, and are willing to give consent, under certain conditions.

1. I pay for everything
2. I find insurance

Where I’m from there is NO insurance for trans people. That’s just flat out. So my parents have decided that in case something goes wrong I should have an extra 10k saved up. My surgery is costing five and it’s taken me three years of working constantly and through my exams to get to this point.

I understand where they’re coming from, but that is an unreachable goal, and I cant make that happen for years, let alone before summer.

For context I have a surgeon lined up and have had a consult, I just need to let them know when I want it.

I guess I’m just asking for peoples opinion on this - I understand that it makes sense, but in a position where my day to day life is so devastatingly effected, and the chances of complications are so low, I feel this is somewhat far fetched? Especially as there isn’t any insurance for adults either, so it’s not like my position will change.

I’m not sure if I’m here for advice, or just comfort and understanding, but I figured this would be the best place for either with the story I’m about to tell. My (54F) extended family had our annual Thanksgiving get together on Friday at my parents’ house. This included my 2 brothers and 1 sister, plus their SOs, at least a dozen nieces/nephews, some with spouses & kids, and my own children and 2 grandchildren. It was a lot of people. lol Friday was also my youngest child’s (Q) 16th birthday, and the first family get together since they came out to us as NB in May. Q is fully out, but not everyone in my family had been informed. My parents and a few of my siblings had been told, with at best, mixed reactions. We (me, Q, Q’s dad, and their siblings) had quite a few conversations leading up to Thanksgiving on how best to handle the situation, with the final decision being to send an email to everyone in the family giving a brief, positive update about Q, so we’d know everyone knew their correct name and pronouns, without a negative or phobic tone to it, which was what we worried would happen if Q’s cousins got the info from some of my less than accepting siblings. In the email, I simply stated Q’s chosen name, and reminded everyone that Friday was their birthday and asked that they please be kind, told them they could talk to me if they had any questions or wanted help understanding better. And that I would not be happy if someone decided to ruin my child’s 16th birthday by sharing an unwanted opinion with the whole group. I tried to word it as nicely as possible, but needed to be clear since I know at least one of my siblings to be quite opinionated and generally very loud about it.

My parents have a large house, with a finished basement, and on Friday we had tables set up for people to eat both upstairs and downstairs. My mom’s health has been deteriorating a lot lately, so when I was finished eating, I went upstairs to check on her and found her in the bathroom crying in pain. I asked if she had been able to eat any dinner, and she said no, she hadn’t been able to sit up long enough to eat, and just wanted to go back to bed, so I helped her back to her room, and then went to get her plate and brought it to her room. I was going to ask if she’d like us to come to her room to sing happy birthday to Q, but when I came in the room and started helping her get settled in bed, the first thing she said was, ‘I want to sing happy birthday to Q, do you think everybody will mind coming in here to sing?’ Mind you, my mom is 80 years old, she’s losing her memory, she truly doesn’t understand the whole gender identity thing, and she’s never once remembered Q’s chosen name until that day. So that was one of the happy moments of the day. I told her we’d be glad to, and went and informed everyone in the house of that plan. I made sure to get everyone’s attention, at least twice, and told them we’re all going to mom/grandma’s room to sing happy birthday. On my way back to my mom’s room, I passed my younger brother in the kitchen getting second helpings of dinner, and said we were about to sing happy birthday, and he said no, thanks, he was going back downstairs. He then proceeded to spout some demeaning and disrespectful garbage about my child. I calmly disputed what he said and he puffed out his chest like he thought that would make him more intimidating or something, and doubled down. I knew at that point that he was looking for a fight, so I turned and walked away without another word. What I did NOT know, was that Q had followed me upstairs and was standing RIGHT BEHIND ME and heard the entire exchange! I didn’t find out until later, but after I walked away, Q looked my brother dead in the eye and said, ‘I don’t even know your name, so why should I care about your opinion?’ And then followed me out of the room. 🤣 I hate that they heard what he said, but I love their response to it. Of all my family, only my younger brother and sister, my sister’s boyfriend, my father, and I think a couple of my nephews (though nobody is sure which ones) didn’t come up to celebrate Q’s birthday. I don’t really care about the nephews, even if I could figure out which ones, they probably just couldn’t be bothered because they don’t really know Q. It’s whatever. My siblings can pound sand, I won’t be speaking to them again any time soon. I refused to even acknowledge they were in the room for the rest of the time we were at my parents that day, even. But my dad…I’m angry and heartbroken and disappointed and furious and physically sick to my stomach and sometimes I even talk myself into believing he just was talking to someone and didn’t realize what was going on, but I texted him yesterday to ask him why he didn’t come up to sing with us and he hasn’t responded, but he texted me this morning to ask me something completely unrelated and mundane so I know he’s seen my text, so I cried after that, and now I’m furious again, and I want to talk to him, but I don’t want to talk to him, because I’ll probably yell at him, but he probably deserves it, but I don’t want to yell at him, but I want to see him, and I don’t want to see him ever again. And all this has been going around and around in my head nonstop since Friday night and I’m crying again 😭

This will be my 17yo daughter’s (AMAB) first Christmas as her true self. Does anyone have any good gift ideas that would be a hit and also what she might want or need? She has not been forthcoming with a list yet.

For her birthday this year I gave her a room makeover and she is in good shape with clothes but would love to hear what other parents have done for their teens (or from teens directly) about what was meaningful for them.

I did buy new Christmas ornaments for the whole family today from Etsy that will be personalized with each of our names so hers will match everyone else’s.

My ex and I have a child who has come out to us; she has asked us to use she/her pronouns, create a feminine wardrobe, etc. The other day she asked me to buy her some bras; I did so and let my co-parent ex know.

Plot twist - My co-parent ex still carries (I believe) a fair amount of baggage from when I transitioned and we divorced because of this.

Today I was accused of not being a co-parent but instead doing things on my own. I had no response; I'm going to support my daughter - If she needs bras I'm going to buy bras. It doesn't seem like a co-parenting decision, honoring her transition.

Curious if any other divorced parents here have found a path that navigates different approaches to a child's transition within the bounds of co-parenting; looking for advice, thank you and best of wishes to you all.

Yesterday was my daughter's first birthday. She (amab, mtf, 22) was born in 2002 and for 21 years her birthday celebrations were very different, she was very different...

She had been questioning for a couple years but it wasnt until this past June that she made the decision to start living her most authentic life as the woman she is. As such, yesterday was my daughter's 1st Birthday as Larissa.

I am so very proud of her. Watching her bloom into who she is becoming has been such a privilege and a pleasure. Seeing her smile more and laugh more has been a gift. Seeing her be truely happy is everything I have ever wanted for her.

She had a difficult time from elementary school all the way through to high school as we were discovering her neuro diversity together. She was not always a happy child, she had a hard time seeing the positive side of things, seeing only the negative in most everything, especially herself. As a kid she didnt understand why she always got in trouble at school (severe impulsive control issues due to ADHD) or why socially she had trouble making and keeping friends (social skills did not come naturally to her due to her Autism). Of course there is more to her neuro diversity than that but it doesnt pertain to today's narritive. And while she still had difficulty all the way through High School navigating around her Autism/ADHD, depression and anxiety, she was lucky enough to form some very meaningful friendships in middle school that have lasted to this day.

Yesterday for her birthday, Larissa and her 4 lifelong friends went out for lunch and then came back to our house for birthday cake. Seeing them all together, enjoying life, playing video games, laughing, and accepting/supporting each other through it all has been so amazing to watch and a complete joy to experience first hand.
I cannot truly express how grateful I am that my daughter has found her people. I know they would protect her as fiercely as I would in a world as intolerant as ours. But lets not worry about that today. Today I feel fortunate.

I love you Larissa! And although you are unlikely to come across this, because reddit is passe and you are over it, Lol, I wanted to share this here to help spread a little joy and some hope to anyone who may need it.

Happy 1st Birthday, to the most wonderful daughter in the world. I am forever proud of you and thank the Gods for blessing us with you. ...and your extended chosen family that you bring into our lives.

Love, Mom

ps. I was going to post the birthday cake pics too but I couldn't figure out how.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments challenging Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming care for those under 18 this Wednesday at 10:00 AM Eastern.

The case is U.S. v. Skrmetti, and the news media will cover it but you can listen to the livestream audio of the hearing as it happens: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/live.aspx Unfortunately, Supreme Court hearings are not televised.

The legal issue is whether denying needed medical care to gender-diverse children when the same care is available to cis children violates the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the 14th Amendment. The decision will likely affect similar bans in every state that has them.

The Justices will have read the briefing documents beforehand and they often cut off each counsel’s prepared argument shortly after they begin, peppering them with questions. Listening to the questions is often used, though not always correctly, as a gauge of how the Justices will vote.

One of the lead attorneys arguing against Tennessee’s law is the ACLU’s Chase Strangio, a trans man.

Background, from the generally reliable SCOTUS Blog:

“Three transgender teenagers and their parents went to federal court to challenge the law; the Biden administration joined the case under a law that allows the government to intervene in private cases alleging violations of the constitutional right to equal protection under the law. A federal judge agreed with them that the law’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender teens violates the Constitution because the law allows similar treatments for young people wishing to conform to the sex they were assigned at birth. But a federal appeals court reversed that decision, prompting the Biden administration to come to the Supreme Court, which agreed last summer to weigh in.” https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/10/supreme-court-schedules-transgender-rights-case-for-december/

I’ve seen some people insist trans kids getting care is new, unnecessary, or both, so I compiled resources I’ve found that disprove that myth. As a guy who got access to care a minor, I’ve had to defend my entire existence (and despite gender-affirming care having saved my life, I’ve heard some people say some really ignorant things), so I really hope these help out. :)

Stay safe everyone! ❤️

I am so angry right now. My enby child's grandparent (step-grandparent, but they've been in my kid's life since birth) 'rejects' they/them pronouns because 'it's not grammatically correct' 'they isn't a pronoun' etc etc

I got angry. Right to her goddamn face. Right in the middle of a family gathering (my kid was not in the vicinity at the time).

I'm normally extremely non-confrontational, but I went full-on mama bear. Do not mess with my kids.

so apparently I dont have a transgender chlid I have a victim of the need for attention..lol

so you really think you can make a 17 year old inject themselves with testosterone..... I haven't seen seen him do his injections.....Id still pay the same amount of attention even if he didnt take T.

For context ive known i was trans (ftm) since i was 11/12 so its been a few years. I came out to my mum about 2-3 years ago and she told me to wait a few years and tell her again if i still feel the same way. Obviously i still do, so i told both of my parents one night in June this year. They were supportive? in the moment but theyve never ever used masculine terms for me nor have they asked if i wanted a name change. Im still their "daughter" to them. I havent once acted feminine and im getting a masculine haircut very soon. All i wanna know is will this change? Do i have to tell them again? I am sick and tired of getting misgendered 24/7 and i just want to know what to do. Im also getting ready to come out to college and get my name and pronouns changed there so im not waiting for them to "accept it".

I’m looking to speak to someone who (1) has expertise/training (evidence based) in eating disorders and (2) either is trans themself or works in trans medicine/support.

Also open to resources around these topics, though I believe I have seen many of the resources available online.

If anyone fits this description and is willing to chat I would be very appreciative.

The absolute basics of what I want to talk about: My kid is trans and also deals with an eating disorder. I’m trying to support them through both and trying to “do the right thing” as per expert advice re: eating disorder is conflicting with trying to do the right thing as per advice re: the Trans experience/gender dysphoria.

I am only looking for folks who have a very in depth and evidence based understanding of eating disorders because the specifics and intricacies of ed are too complex to easily explain in a forum like this.

Thank you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/cisparenttranskid/s/bnwZH49O86 here's the original post. Quite a few people said to keep them updated so figured I'd make a new post (also have more questions).

So I asked my parents if they could make an effort to use my name, and I just got the response "we'll talk about this when you come home for xmas". (This is in 2 weeks time) This has just got me feeling pretty down, I wanted to talk about it now as I dont want christmas to feel really awkward or like some sort of battle constantly, it means a lot of time spent with my parents and if they're not going to even try to call me Daisy then I just dont know what to do. It just feels like they want to hope this all goes away and buy me nice stuff for christmas to "buy my love" almost, but what I want more than anything is for them to accept me as their daughter, I'd happily get nothing besides genuine acceptance for Christmas but that's just not gonna happen. I just want to them to see me as their daughter and to call me Daisy.

Anyone got any advice or comfort for this? I pretty much cried myself to sleep last night because I just dont know anyone who genuinely loves me for me, just some version of me i've been forced to present. I have friends who accept me but I wouldn't describe it as "love", just like "normal friendships". And it kinda leaves me with a parent-shaped hole in my life. Sorry if this is kinda ranty I just dont know what to do and everyone who replied was so lovely last time too.

I know it's a rough time but what are the bright spots something encouraging possibly hopeful

My minor teen daughter (AMAB) has an appointment for a new passport coming up and we aren’t sure how to handle the gender markers. She’s just at the start of her medical journey, and has her first meeting with that care team next month (provided she will still have access come January… gah).

Can she just select F or does she need some type of documentation? Or is X preferred for the time being until she’s further down the process?

And, of course the upcoming political climate most definitely under consideration…

We are both stuck on the best way to handle this.

Thanks so much!

Hello there!

When inspecting my kids phone (which I do periodically for their safety) I noticed they are leaning more into FTM trans and talking about using binders (in this chat they said they were using a very tight t shirt that was working well).

Looking at binders online there is so much about yes to help them but no because they're still growing, and I'm so confused. A lot of sites recommended for teen binders are also US based so shipping would be astronomical (I recently lost my job so budgets are in place).

This is all really new to me, I'm a perfectly happy cis woman but I really want to show my kid support. I'd like to try and get them something for Xmas.

Any ideas would be gratefully received!

There’s obviously a huge range of things that could happen to our families in the upcoming years. For non-surgical medical support (blockers and HRT, separately) where are places/resources we should consider researching now, for ourselves and our community?

I was just informed that TriCare is no longer covering gender affirming care for anyone under age 16. However, if you're in the Puget Sound area Seattle Children's Hospital is currently covering that care for families who make less than $12k a month.

Was it because they looked very sad? Was their suffering caused by dysphoria? Diagnosis of something like depression? Someone reprimanding their actions or a suicide attempt on their part?

Sorry for seeming so insensitive with that question. I'm 18 years old, Brazilian FTM. My parents are evangelicals, it's been more than a year since they pulled me out of the closet.

At that time it was clear that their lack of acceptance and "homemade conversion therapy" were (and are) hurting me, I must have already shown signs of depression and tried to commit suicide twice, but I still ended up being guilty, or is it the devil? . They usually say that I have to pray for God to heal me, or they say that God will do something bad to me (or the one I love) to heal me. It's so obvious that I'm bad due to dysphoria and lack of acceptance, but they never seem to notice, it feels like they're blind. As if the dehumanization of trans people doesn't exist in the church and they don't notice how it affects me, much less how their own comments make everything

I know they love me and are trying to help me, but they are only making everything worse.

There also seems to be a certain amount of pressure for me to date a cis man and get married and have children to be "cured soon."

My aunt has already said that she won't be able to handle it if I "get lost" and that she's going to have a bad heart for it, and I feel like they're sending me hints about how ungrateful and disappointing I am, since they took me to church and They gave me a good school and everything (it's kind of funny that they say that because I'm Christian). To make matters worse, they believe in "gender ideology".

I'm sorry if I asked such a heavy question, it's just that I'm still a little desperate for someone to accept me one day and I'm trying to keep hope. The dysphoria also gets worse, and I know that if I don't get affirmative treatment and live the way they want, I'm going to have a mental breakdown, it's already horrible, if I became a mother and wife it would only make everything worse, I'd lose the will to live ( since I'm already living off the smell of it)

Have a great day

My AMAB 7th grader has always known they were somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. Very recently, they came out as a demi girl and want to be referred to as them. My husband and I are very supportive and my parents are as well.

The potential issue comes from extended family. We have some very conservative relatives that we really only see a couple of times a year. My kiddo is displaying a slightly more feminine presentation and I don’t want these relatives doing or saying anything to make them uncomfortable. I don’t know that they will. Since we see them like once a year, odds are they likely won’t. But, I feel protective of my kid and am worried about the possibility.

I thought of reaching out in advance, but I really only see and speak to these people like once a year and I am afraid that reaching out will come across as me expecting the worst from them and may be a bit offensive. I don’t want them to offend my kid, but I am not looking to preemptively judge them on something they may not even do or say. I am sure that some of you have been in similar circumstances and I am looking for any advice. Thanks.

allow your children to take blockers.I live in a country where blockers were not available to me, and I can only get hormones illegally.At 13, I saw myself in the mirror as the same girl as everyone else. I went through male puberty, in a few weeks I will be 17.I hate myself, I cry for days, I hate my voice, I think about committing suicide .even if they finally prescribe me hormones, my bones will still be male, and my voice too.I don't want any child to have such a fate.my mother didn't try to do anything for me, so that the whole family could go to Europe (I came out at 15).instead, she thought that it was just a period and that it would pass with time. please don't torture your children :( .and also give more support to your children,otherwise they may kill themselves

Not much more to add. I’m fully supportive of my daughter and my parents are trying to be but kinda failing miserably refusing pronouns and such. Help me be sassy and fun (from daughters perspective)

so, perhaps some of you that have been watching this slow motion trainwreck observed co-author of Project 2025 and generic-looking banker bro, Russel Vought a couple months ago assuring "donors" that pinche naranjo chupamierda's denials of any connection to Project 2025 were nonsense.

Well, he's been selected to head the Office of Management and Budget.

He can do a lot of damage there.

His nomination requires the Senate to vote him in.

Call your Senators asking them to oppose.

You can call the Congressional Switchboard directly at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be directed to the Senators for your state (you have two, if they are of the same party they will often be referred to as the "junior" and "senior" depending on how long theyve served)

If you need background on how to navigate offering comment being connected to a vulnerable person, please see my recent post, A Call to Action, pt. 1 but the important thing here is to put up resistance to every single one of these rogue's gallery of picks.

Encourage Dems to oppose every single nomination, but particularly the unqualified Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and the awful (but technically qualified) Pam Bondi for Attorney General.

ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO REACH REPUBLICAN SENATORS ON THIS, because the size of their majority is extremely small. EVERY CALL TO A REPUBLICAN SENATOR HERE WILL COUNT TOWARDS PEELING OFF SUPPORT FOR THESE AWFUL PEOPLE

So have a child who is 7 (born male but trans maybe nonbinary). Also have a 9 year daughter is so cis and the steroetypical alpha oldest child it's almost scary lol. They are having difficulties understanding my youngest, and I have a problem explaining it. What have you done to help with this process? I don't want this to eventually cause I rift between the two.
