Is she going to pursue HRT? That'll have a big effect.
Already started it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hooray for supportive parents of all stripes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Already started it.
She's probably already discovered these, but have her check out the kind of HRT timelines people post on Pinterest where they show where they were at various stages. It's dramatic to see how much can change over a year or two.

Aww yay good parenting Gud! I'm glad your kid felt she could share this with you—that speaks to past good parenting as well as present good parenting in the good reaction!

Gah, poor Matilda. I was just wondering what her situation was re: school after seeing a bunch of First Day of School Online posts in my FB feed...

Everything about school seems to be screwed up this year. My best wishes to Matilda for a solution that works for her (and you).
Meanwhile, Randy Rainbow presents Kamala.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Not that I'm wishing any bad on anyone, but I hope the Covid situation means that there's more than a usual amount of high school vacancy slots in the system this year, which means that Matilda will be settled successfully and soon.
Gud, that's a big deal indeed, and not one that gets lightly entered into, either! Do you have a parent group that you can go to for support and advice? That can be so helpful!
(Mostly I'm happy your daughter is going to be making a life where she's comfortable in her own skin. )
