Godmother seeking critical perspectives on gender ideology & my GD’s sudden trans identification. Gender critical & detrans voices welcome. Still learning.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

As some of you already know, I'm here because of my goddaughter. She's a 17-year-old tomboy who started identifying as trans last year. It's been incredibly hard to watch.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 Yes.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

I've been pretty inactive recently. This is why.

It hit me harder than I expected. Since then I've been carrying this heavy feeling and trying to figure out how to support my GD without pushing her away. Some days it's just been too overwhelming to post.

@legaltweetz Seeing those binder ads everywhere must be brutal. I found one hidden in my goddaughter’s room the other day and it broke me. She’s heading down this path so fast. It’s sick how they market this to kids as ‘self-expression’.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 Well, I still think it won't work.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 I won't be able to distract her enough.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 To prevent her transition. If I don't talk to her, she'll just go right ahead with no issues.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@legaltweetz You should block the haters.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 If I don't talk to her, how would I know she'd stop before it's too late?

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 Thank you, Brenda. I will need to guve the catalogue to her and see what she likes.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@ChloeCole I also have a Substack for writing. It's a wonderful thing.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@legaltweetz Your courage really touches me. Watching my goddaughter go down this same path has been absolutely terrifying and heartbreaking. Stories like yours give me real hope that she might one day see the truth and turn back before it’s too late. Thank you for standing firm.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@Beaverhousen_ @legaltweetz Please leave me alone.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 She wants to work retail from what I've heard but is looking at studying options as well. I'm not sure.

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 She’s talking about either studying or going straight into work after school. Right now though, transitioning is her main focus. I’m trying to help her see an exciting future as a woman instead. Any advice on how to do this without pushing her away?

[Kathleen @Ok2bws]

@brenda11831 This is her last year, yes.

But this feels like we're failing our girls by rushing them down this path instead of letting them just be tomboys. Gender-critical women, mothers, and detransitioners, any advice? How do I reach her without losing her?
