I have a 21 year old daughter who cut all contact with me because I refused to affirm her new identity. It has been 6 months since she moved out and finally she wants me back in her life. I know many would be thrilled to get this opportunity. The problem is, I don’t really want her back in my life. She is on testosterone now and I truly feel unable to hear her deepened voice or see the changes this drug is doing to her body.

I don’t see many parents talk about how they deal with the medical changes to their beloved kids. I have been thinking I need to find a therapist who can help me learn how to at least have some contact with her and not end up crying for days afterwards.

Stella, have you seen Buck’s latest interview with Brianna? Another lawsuit on the way from a child who began transition at thirteen.
