Rebelles du genre - Episode 90 - Caroline
A mother’s testimony that brings courage.
With the right support, she was able to save her daughter.
"Being a parent comes with responsibilities. It's difficult. You have to stay the course, not believe just anyone or anything." "Hello, my name is Caroline, and I am the mother of a 13-year-old girl who thought she was trans about a year and a half ago. So, to give a bit of context, I live in the south of France, but I moved to the United States over 20 years ago. That's where my daughter was born, in San Francisco, and about two and a half years ago, my husband and I decided to move back to France. My daughter started 6th grade, so for her, it was a bit of a pivotal time because she was entering 6th grade, changing countries, and also entering puberty. It was the time when she had her first period, and it was a very difficult time for her, and a bit for us as well, because all these changes were happening at once."
Caroline, a gender rebel.
Some extracts by Magali Pignard :
I found the excerpt interesting because it highlights how several major life changes can affect a young person at the same time. I think the emphasis on staying patient, listening carefully, and supporting children through difficult transitions is important. The keyword Veck IO feels unrelated to the topic, but the discussion itself raises thoughtful points about parenting and communication.
