Today, my daughter told me she wants to be a boy. When I told her she can’t, she said “Then I want to be dead.” She’s 4. FML

When I was 4, I wanted to be a dinosaur. Maybe she's trans. More likely, someone told her that something she wanted to do was only for boys and she applied 4-year-old logic to the situation. Be understanding, find out what's up, don't take parenting advice from FML.

Dude, when a child says he/she "wants to be dead", you take it seriously. Time to whip up the old "Girls and Boys" educational book and read it. Maybe some asshat told her that she couldn't do some stuff, like play Lego or roller skate, because she's a girl.

She shouldn’t be learning stuff like that. Most of those people are doing stuff like that to be cool and feel relevant bc of low self esteem.

One day my 5 year old want to be a boy because she has lots of boys a friends in school then the next day she wants to be a cat then the next a princess then the next a super hero like wonder women or super man. In my opinion no 4 year old child can be transgender their brain is not mature enough to comprehend what that even means . Just let a 4 year old be a 4 year old and not jump to conclusions.
