This problem goes far beyond just harming the child….. it ruins whole families. In 2015, my granddaughter, at age 14, was struggling in school and socially. My daughter (divorced) took her for counseling. After 1 session, it was determined that “Lizzie” wanted to be a boy and we were to call her “Lime” (not sure why?). The family began to accommodate her and we thought this was being supportive. 3 sessions in, it was revealed that “Lizzie” said she was sexually assaulted by her grandfather when she was about 6 yrs old, and the counselor explained that this was the defining moment of her body dysphoria. This, of course, was reported to the police and investigated. Our family was Shocked! My father, who denied this vehemently, (who at the time of the “incident” was 71 yrs old!), was interrogated, along with other family. Nothing was proven, either way… (how do you prove a dispositive ???). I went weeks tortured with this information… I simply could not believe a man I’ve known my whole life, who I’ve seen interacting with females of all ages, my whole life, would’ve done this act…….. About 3 months later, ”Lime” quit seeing the counselor and she changed her mind again and decided that she is a girl, who likes girls, and reverted to being called by her middle (girl’s) name. She is now almost 22 years old, in college with a girlfriend and appears to be happy. The bad news is our family is still broken! We are split by who believes who…. Those who are not split must abide to the, if one is invited to Holidays, the others are not…. We dodged a bullet with the transitioning – thank God! But, the family is forever severed. Granddaughter cannot retract her statement (even if its false), due to the colossal harm it has caused.

I'm so sorry. That sounds just horrible for your family.
