Hi Tabatha. My mother did. From her point of view she did the "right" thing. My experience was similar to the Georgia gay teen who made the YouTube video about his family disowning him. Same sort of arguments but over a longer time period. My mother kept doctor shopping to try and "fix" me starting around age seven or eight. They all told her the same thing -- I was a girl and had a female brain and there wasn't anything that could be done about it. She was determined to force me to be male -- even though I had an intersex condition -- because "that is what society expects and society is always right." She did get non-gender specific girls tops, t-shirts, jeans, trainers, etc. for me from about age nine to thirteen but when people started to see me as female she freaked out and forced me to wear boys' clothes. When I left home at sixteen for university there was no going back. In her mind, she thinks "tough love" is the right approach and that she and the family can't be associated with or linked to "tranny trash" like me.
