Thank you for displaying your ignorance. Google non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and tell me again that I abused my trans kid.
Holy cow do I need to write an article about this. Half the people on FR don’t know jack shit about the causes of gender dysphoria in children with insulin intolerance or endocrine issues. People just presume they know and spout nonsense.
I’ve been battling the entire medical establishment for two years to keep my daughter alive. I’m trying to find a cure and they are pushing transitioning.
Her condition has taken EVERYTHING from her. Her health, her grades, her looks, her mental well being, her sports, her art...even her faith in God.
Some days when I come home from work, I wonder if today is the day she will take her own life. That is what life is like as the parent of a trans kid.
They need your prayers, not your scorn, because only God can heal this. Most doctors aren’t interested and the ones that might be get shut down. We’ve been to endocrinologists, had DNA sequencing done, therapists, specialists, psychiatrists and labs, labs, labs.
Most people here have NO IDEA the living we are living. Instead, they make jokes.

That’s not what “trans” means. “Trans” doesn’t mean fixing a genetic disorder. It means attempting to change one’s sex when one is definitively physically male or female.
Obviously if your case were to come under investigation for abuse, the presence of the genetic disorder would wholly exonerate you.
Your case is not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about 100% mental cases, where there is absolutely no physical basis whatsoever to attempt a change of sex.
Upon further reflection, I strongly exhort you to stop using the term “trans” to describe your kid because that is an term heavily loaded with implications that do not describe your situation at all.
When you say “trans”, what people hear is “person who is of one sex who is engaged in an futile, expensive, and damaging attempt to turn themselves into the other sex”. That’s what “trans” means in the popular lexicon.
Clearly that is light years away from what you are dealing with.
You must be under a tremendous amount of pressure.
So sorry for those who suffer with this condition.
However, the sympathy ends when someone insists on using the other gender bathroom or locker room, when men are competing in women’s sports, when people lie to romantic partners about their real gender, and so on.
Those are the reasons many people are pushing back.
Hope you and yours are able to work through everything somehow.
