Help convincing parents of transgender child

Puberty blockers are completely safe, and halt puberty.

If they're afraid of making a decision, then you can tell them they're making a deicision either way.
And the more permanent decision is to not give her HRT, since it's going to be a lot harder to deal with what testosterone does.

Even if she would go on proper HRT, she'd p probably have no problem passing as male if she changed her mind a couple of years later.

May as well mention the torment she'll go through, the risks of her developing things like anorexia, and mistrust of others (avpd/social anxiety), depression will get worse, and possibly becoming suicidal. The things that develop might stay for life.

That's really helpful, thanks!

I think figuring out whether a kid is trangendered is super, super difficult. I'd see if there's any qualified psychologist in the area who you know isn't a conservative jerk but who isn't trigger-happy either. Surely the parents would be at least willing to send her to a psychologist?

From what she told me, they just dismissed it. She is in no threat of being kicked out at least, despite their lack of support, probably cause they just don't take her seriously.

lol what.

Imagine if, when you were that age, your child told you that they'd been talking to an adult on the internet.

They're gonna think you're a predator and/or corrupted their child into thinking they're trans.

I'm not trying to put a dampener on this or anything, but I really feel that you talking to them might scare them even further

This. Parents aren't typically rational when they find out their children have been speaking to adults behind their back, especially if it has something to do with their lackluster parenting, and ESPECIALLY if you're LGBT.

You're a transgender stranger telling them their kid's body needs altering because they're like you, a massively hated minority most average people think is gross and perverted. You might as well be pulling up to their house in a dirty white van that says "free candy."

Oh! I didn't even think about this! Since she is also my sister's age and we're five years apart, I honestly did not consider it from that sort of perspective... I really wouldn't want to make the situation any worse and scare her parents.

Mail her hermones on the downlow.

>>6518304
No way. I would never even tell her that they're available online.

>>6518334
Be sure, also, to never tell her about the existence of online communities which discuss the finer details of covert hormonal transition as practiced by those seeking to bypass unresponsive or antagonistic family and medical professionals.

That would be irresponsible.

>>6515560
Tell her how to cut her balls off

>>6518428
I know what you're saying but I think it'd put her in a worse situation. I wouldn't be able to advise someone to self-medicate or show them how to, especially if they're underage.

>>6518131
Then you may want to teach her how to self-med, but anonymously.

>>6518507
Exactly. You both lack the knowledge and must protect yourself from the liability.

Ultimately, you're at your best as emotional support. Your young friend is going to have to be assertive resourceful, and insistent, or things will get worse.

>>6518334
Why wouldn't you?
If she doesn't get hormones she'll probably kill herself.

You disgust me.

>>6518595
But if they do get hormones they'll almost certainly kill themselves (later on)

>>6520310
Far from certainly, just have a much higher chance than the general population.
Without hormones there's a guarantee that they'll kill themselves.

If I were in your position, I would definitely tell her. But that's just me. I wish I had simply accepted I was trans at that age instead of trying to run away from the truth.
