re: What would you do if your daughter told you she is now a he and is trans?

Hit her mother in the nose

People keep saying “get them help” and “they’re mentally I’ll”

But they’re gonna bail at any and all psychiatric care.

Idk who they want to help these people.

You continue to insert statements falsely intimating extraordinary elements as the norm.

The OP question predicates on an environment far less healthy for children than in the past, an environment from which you continue to deflect.

I doubt if there is any data to review but the data is abundantly clear that a very tiny # of minors of any age are treated in any way....

The number of CHILDREN seeking/receiving treatment for gender dysphoria tripled from 2017 (42K) to 2021 (121K). By all estimates, it is a number which continues to rapidly escalate.

GD escalation is not pathology occurring in a vacuum. It is accompanied by a school/social Mengelean psychological undertaking where transgender "normalcy" is not only forced through acceptance, fellow classmate participation is invited, and celebrated as cool ... often w/o parental knowledge or consent.

In any controlled experiments with kids, psychological malleability is readily demonstrable, and in fact, exceptional. It's the nature of a developing mind. It's why children readily believe in Santa and the EasterBunny. It's also why our legal system views their transgressions differently. It's why grooming can be so dangerous, and why adult minor sex is illegal based on inability to consent.

Yet, your talkarounds not withstanding, folks like yourself see much to be excused in adults molding these young children's minds into a psychological darkspace that may well unnecessarily lead to lifelong pathology. It is despicable.
