As someone who grew up in a Christian home and turned, it’s important to validate, maybe she is testing the waters. Acceptance is pretty important these days and maybe she won’t want to If you show support. First I’d start out letting her wear boy clothes and see how that feels in public, get her use to the judgements and see If she can handle that. It’s tuff in this world. Transitioning is a huge deal and needs to not be taken lightly, it’s a life altering change. Mind you I don’t regret my decision but it should be thought out carefully. It still comes with alot of scrutiny. These things are important to realize, take it from someone who knows. Besides transitioning isn’t a quick deal. They make you take hormone therapy for a year and go to counceling as there can be gender dismorphia.
Clothes and hair only until 18, then if she still feels that way it’s up to her
When I was 13 I wore jinco jeans and hoodies. Hair in ponytail no make up no girly stuff and wanted to be a boy. As I grew older I realized thats not who I want to be forever. So let her express herself but surgery and hormones can wait til she is 18 to make those decisions. Like everyone else said above.
Just embrace where she is right now. Could be a passing phase or it could be her forever. Love her/him regardless of that choice.
I really don’t know how I would feel if my daughter wanted that so all i have to say is best of luck on this journey praying for all no matter the outcome remember to always love and understand her/him.
My brother told my parents he wanted to transition to male around the same age, although there were signs from the age of 3. He and my family had to go through years of therapy before the doctors would agree to let him start hormone therapy. If it’s something they’re serious about explore the options
I think it’s so funny when kids say they are gay or bi or want to be a different gender. A lot of parents need to be just that a parent. Unless you are 18 and older I don’t want to hear any of that. Until you are having sex I don’t want to hear that. Until you are mature as an adult I don’t want to hear that. It’s easy to get lost in these day trends and society. If it didn’t bother you for most the years you been alive why let it start now. Some of them don’t even know what it means or what it is to be gay or bi or transgender etc I’m not against but make sure you know what your talking about cause once you enter that world you get labeled and it’s hard to undo once done
I feel like now aways kids in order to fit in feel the need to be this or be that and if they ARE that ya know fine GREAT even but if they are not and you give her hormones and surgery at such a young age it could ruin her life! What if she wants her own kids as an adult? What if she wants to surrogate? Changes her mind? I’d say if my kid said this to me I’d say " I’m so happy you know you can come to me. I love you no matter what or who you Idententify with! But switching as such a young age has some small benefits but some major consequences could happen too.lets go get a new wardrobe and hair style and if you still feel this is what you want at 20(around when females stop maturing) then I will do anything I can to help you be your happiest. I want you happy AND safe and this is how its done because I love you!
let kids be kids… my daughter was the same way around this age…sometimes its just a fase they go through wanting to be like others…
Some of these comments are disgusting. Yall should be ashamed.
Do they just glue a dildo on I’m confused
Take her to church ASAP!
It is a sin, period. God either gave you a penis or vagina, sometimes both=hermaphrodite!!!
Take her to the nearest mental hospital.
Acceptance, support, love.
Love and acceptance is key ,please notify matter what your kids chooses don’t make them feel bad about it because it can take a terrible turn talk to a counselor about helping them social transition so when they are old enough and ready they can decide at 18 if changing genders is what they really want ,I can give a different perspective when I was younger I wanted to change my gender and this is my experience no one else’s not pushing it on anyone to get anything done I wanted to change my gander because I was sexually assaulted so I hated my gender for it ,i finally got better about how I feel when I turned 19 and talked to a counselor so having someone to love and support you will be the big make it or break it on the relationship with your child
I have a trans teenager PM me if need anything 
Legit question: Have you seen a technician to get some neuroimaging done? This can give you the signal flow of the brain and can help determine what’s the root cause. If you can get a diagnosis (such as gender incongruence), it might help assuage some of your concerns.
The biggest thing is the age here. At the time of posting, you said that your daughter is younger than 13. That means either a) Hhe hasn’t started puberty yet, or b) H in the process of undergoing puberty.
This means that there is a possibility that - as he matures - his persona might change (sometimes multiple times). With that, her personal preferences might also change.
Based on that, I’d say support his decision to want to become a male, but don’t have her undergo the transitionary process until she’s of legal age and can make that judgement for himself.
(NOTE: I’m saying he/him, instead of she/her, because he did - at the time of posting - express interest in becoming a male. Without data proving otherwise, I’m in no position to contradict, and will simply respect until shown otherwise).
