Despite the enormous dangers faced by trans people, this brave teen forges ahead:

Trans youth are SIX TIMES more likely to be bullied, abused and physically attacked than their gender-normative peers.
According to self-reports in surveys designed to elicit just such responses.
How much courage does this decision take?
What would you do if she were your daughter?
I would do what anyone in that situation who cares more about their daughter's well-being than about virtue-signalling would do.
I would say, "Charlene, you say you're a girl, I believe you. Just remember that there isn't just one way to be a girl. You can become a girl same way a boy becomes a man, by acting like one. You can dress like a girl, practice talking like a girl, wear your hair like a girl, and put on the warpaint for a date like a girl.
"You don't have to mutilate yourself to be a real girl, and only the biggest idiot, or the worst self-centered opportunist would try to convince you that you do have to. You have healthy parts for sexual enjoyment and for procreation. Keep them healthy. Someday, you may meet a transman who was also smart enough to leave their genitals in working order, and you can have fulfilling sex just with the typical parts reversed. You can also have a baby with him, if he's man enough to stay around and be a dad.
If he leaves you a single mom, I'll plant him in the garden under an endangered species, no matter what's in his pants."
Meanwhile, get counseling from a non-transactivist and soon.
