@goatsarah my daughter was around 13 when she first opened up about being trans, when she was 16/17 we started looking at the options, and camhs was the first stop after being referred.
They were helpful and pleasant, but ultimately, pretty F’ing useless. We went private and while it’s still been a ‘journey’, things are good and she’s happy. Fuck transphobes, and shitty shit like this. My daughter is my priority, her happiness is paramount and NO ONE will change that.
