Hopefully I have found the right forum for this post.
I was having a chat with my 15 year old niece yesterday and she conveyed she has been struggling trying to deal with something but wasn't sure whether or not to bring it up with me. I hoped she was comfortable to talk to me about anything but then she decided to trust me (I didn't put any pressure on her at all) and revealed that she is somewhere in the gender diverse world too. We tried to have a private conversation about it yesterday but there were other family members around but as she felt like sharing with me, I did the same for her and she said that it helps, knowing that there is a family member who is dealing with some of the same issues.
