Dear Jane,
I am the proud mom of four kids. Three boys, one girl.
I love all of my children equally, but after having two boys, I was over the moon to have a girl and I’ve always loved the time that we’ve been able to spend together as momma and daughter.
But this past week, my daughter – who is 17 – told me and my husband that she is transgender. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I didn’t know what to say. How to react. I just sat there in silence as she told us that she’s always felt out of sorts with herself. That she never really felt natural or comfortable. And that after many years of doubt, she’s now confident in the fact that she was born very much in the wrong gender and body.
I just don’t know what to do. She’s always been a bit of a tomboy, I suppose, but she’s always enjoyed doing girly things with me, like shopping and manicures and Real Housewives binges. I guess boys can do those things too, but I just never imagined that deep down while we were spending all that time together, she secretly thought she was meant to be a boy?
I know that, as a supportive parent, my first instinct should be to help her and guide her through this. But honestly I just don’t know if I can ever get my head around the idea that my daughter wants to be my son? She started talking about hormone therapies and surgeries and name changes, and I just shut down.

She’s not a son.
She’s a sexually mutilated person who will likely live a miserable lonely life.
No one is going to ‘bring ‘him’ home to meet the parents... “HE’ will never have children. And when this fad is over many of these mutilated people will commit suicide.
There will be great sadness in the country.
I agree with the 18 - 25 timetable, but I would also hunt up a skeptical clinical psychiatrist. The reason is that there are still odd hormonal fluctuations taking place at older teenage years. Some of these can unhinge about anyone.
Graves’ disease: hyperactive thyroid gland. Rapid weight gain or loss. Depression & anxiety. High or low blood pressure, body temperature. Strange food consumption like lots of sugary foods.
Some forms of cancer. Could be several places.
Improperly forming internal sex organs or hormone balances.
Mathew 9:36 “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
“Get them mental heath care. Find out who is feeding them this BS.”
Sadly - it is the therapists and mental health “experts” that are feeding them this BS. In some/many states it is against the law for a therapist to try to steer them away from the trans-cult.
There are a few out there that will treat them and point them in the right direction but they are hard to find. And you have to live in one of the states that still allows it.
I would tell the truth by repeating LOUD AND OFTEN.
God created a beautiful young woman.
Tell them the truth.
“Something or someone in the local area is influencing this nuttery...”
That is part of it as we see clusters (mostly girls) of the trans-cult. But it is primarily IMHO from internet influence where everything is make believe, you can be whomever you want to be and get supported for it.
Exorcism. Then perform an exorcism on the mother too.
Yeah 3-for-3 -- that's Imposter Syndrome delivered via Munchausen's By Proxy. And she ain't the only mother who has done the same thing to her children. Many lesbian couples do the exact same thing. It's abuse, pure and simple. BTW, Harden divorced the father of her three wackos in 2012 and has not remarried. A-hem.
There's the real question -- why are all of these Gen X (albeit Harden is a late Boomer) and Millenial women whacked in the head?
My belief is they are spoiled by mostly absent fathers (Harden is a Navy brat, and not maligning Navy service, but you can go a year without seeing your kids), and then that is compounded by how they see inequity (for instance, some blacks succeed, but many do not, even within the same family) but these women consistently do not see the role personal responsibility and exceptionalism play in pulling yourself up by the bootstraps.
As real as a letter to the Playboy Advisor.
Pure fiction, aimed at normalization.
Laughter is the correct response.
Thanks, math was never my strong point. What kind of formula do you use for that? I thought it was division.
I would get them mental help.
