Reinforce the fact they she is not a he. Then I would inform her that if she wanted to continue down the road of living a lie that she was welcome to leave. I’d also explain to her that I love her and would continue to love her, but that I will not condone her behavior in my house.

You sound like a shitty parent.
No doubt. Like most parents I am pretty confident that I have done my dead level best to foul up my kids but in spite of my efforts my son is a college grad working in the field of his education and climbing the corporate ladder who voluntarily and without prompting from me goes to my mother's nursing home and takes her to lunch and the park or even a Hawks game at least one Sunday a month. My daughter is a straight A student who volunteers for every extra-curricular activity that comes up (it is an un-beleivable amount of extra stuff that schools come up with), looks forward to going to school, plans on attending UGA with a marching band scholarship and has maintained the same core group of like-minded friends for years despite our moving 7 times, 2 internationally and 4 cross country, in her 13 years. She also voluntarily does my invalid father's laundry, prepares meals for him and will sit by his bed and endlessly ask him questions about his childhood and mine. My kids no doubt deserve a much better parent but despite my flaws from the moment my wife told me she was pregnant with our son I was inspired to work toward being a better person and one a child could look up to and would not be ashamed to emulate if that is what they aspired to. I have failed miserably in this yet they both seem none the worse for wear....

I hate the world we live in. How the frick did transgenderism become the new hot thing?
The Trans madness is just another facet of a fallen world. If we look at previous generations (Boomers/Greatest) the occurrence of true gender confusion was under 1%, homosexuality was under 2-3% ….the current rate of gender confusion and those who identify as something other than heterosexual (Gen Z is purported to be over 20%) is proof this is a learned behavior in many cases.
In summary…..it’s not out of realm of possibility the Trans movement is being fostered by a malevolent force.

1. Talk to your child and be the authority on the shite that they get off of social media etc - that means staying up on shite and being involved.
2. Be a parent and limit their access time to social media and or particular sites that do not align with the values you are the authority on in your home.
3. Keep them involved in competitive things that keep them mentally and physically sharp and part of a team.
4. Parents and outside activities keep these kids part of something in multiple places in their life where they are not feeling displaced. Misfits join misfit groups so they feel like they are part of something and not alone. Interaction ensures you are present and active/involved in their day to day to create a bond that is conducive to "talking about anything".
As a father that thankfully raised 2 outstanding young men, I'm telling you that you as a parent have the ability to shape their worldview by being present and actively involved. I'm still "parenting" at times because your kids evolve into different stages in their life - post college, career, relationships, kids, etc. You can have your kids respect and still be their friends - I don't care what anyone says. My boys are my best friends in the world, and our bond is and has always been super tight.
Good luck to everybody in these trying times. It just means you need to work harder and be THE AUTHORITY on matters. Be knowledgeable of the world and shite going on so you can communicate on a level they understand.

Done correctly, with a sense of love and humor, not a bad reaction LOL. Seriously, if done with humor this could let the kid know that you heard them, you were aware and not overly concerned. Of course done with malice it would be a gross over reaction but with levity and love the kid would probably appreciate it if you have that kind of relationship. In my opinion that sort of relationship is healthy for kids....in the absence of malice of course.

If you love her, teach her right from wrong with Biblical principles. Surround her with Godly people. Dedicate her to the Lord.

Stay close to your daughter. Keep her in the bosom of a tight family. Keep her off social media as long as you can, and after that, limit it to a couple of hours per day. Also, educate her on the freak show.
If she is not starving for attention she will not be attracted to that freak show. I don’t think it’s as big a threat as you seem to. The folks I know whose children went this way radically neglected their kids or else radically over-indulged them.
Sound and reasonable advice. Daughters, particularly, need a strong man in their lives to avoid the pitfalls of growing up female. Men can avoid a pile of heartache for themselves and their daughters simply by involving their daughters in their lives from day one. It ain't an absolute of course because outside of death nothing is in life but it certainly a good hedge against future problems. Love them and support them without condition, be an example of what you would like for them to be when grown and more times than not they will become the best version of themselves they can. Not always because they are human and subject to all manner of ill influence and behavior but at the end of the day if a person does more good than bad in life they have lead a succesful life, regardless of their shortcomings and weird behavior.

That was a lot of self-justification.

immediately take away all internet connection and t.v. (tell a vision) and re-evaluate how I'm parenting because apparently I'm not doing a good enough job of keeping the crazy away from her.

Isn't that her decision? Does the lord accept dedications made on the behalf of someone else? Asking for a friend...

Baby dedication = A parent's commitment before God to teach the child, and to raise the child, with Biblical principles.

It is being fostered by a sense of openess and acceptance and at the end of the day that is healthier than what mankind has done in the past when anyone who "came out" was treated badly. The number of people is the same today as it has always been...there is little doubt that more people make the claim to gain attention of piss people off but those who are actually gay or trans or anything is exactly the same as it always has been. Anyone who doubts this is either pretending or, at some point in their lives, decided they would be straight and woould identify as the accepted gender associated with the biological traits of their birth sex. Most people never do this, straight, gay, trans or not...but many of those people assume that gay and trans people do make that decision. One can only assume that those people have decided they were straight or not trans instead of simply being straight or not trans. Thats very weird of them....

I'm not worried at all about that at all.
My children were raised with morals and common sense. And more importantly, they can smell BS from a mile away because they were taught how to think, not what to think.

What would you do if your daughter told you she is now a he and is trans?
I would do everything in my capacity to dissuade gender dysphoria. That would absolutely include targeting anyone she was in contact with, who had an antithetical agenda.

I had a friend this happened to and did much the same thing. Soooooo you're a man now? Get your arse up and help me clean the boat. Garbage needs taking out. If you are a man, you better know how to defend yourself so you had best learn how to box/fight because real boys are going to challenge you and your manhood. Oh you are having that time of the month? I don't give a shite, men don't have those, there is shite to be done. Hey you have to lean how to sit like a man. Better learn how to pee standing up, because sometimes men's bathrooms are very much disgusting places and since you are a man ....well none of this sitting down to pee.
He just went the whole man thing on her'after she bitched for a while and saw what her younger brother had to do, she gradually saw the error of her choice.
Transgender is a thing for these kids....a lot of it ain't real. But some of what can happen is irreversible.

suddenly decided to start sucking dick at college.
Ironically these kids often decide to be girls but like girls. It doesn’t make any sense. They aren’t even sucking dick. Gay would be so much easier to handle as a parent.

Take her to one of those ranches out in the middle of nowhere.
No TV, no phone, no media.
Just work the land and the kitchen all day.
Entertainment will be a careful selection of classic books and games.
