Today, I received a letter from the state saying my 14-year-old daughter is now legally recognized as a male. I have no idea what happened. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, my 14-year-old daughter convinced my son that when he was born, he was actually born as a girl, but we wanted a boy so bad we had his gender changed. Now he wants to change back to a girl because now he doesn't feel right as a boy. Last year, she got her other brother to cross dress. FML
What happens in Vegas doesn't stay there?
Today, I got a letter from the state that I'm being divorced. I've never been married. FML
News to me
Today, I got a call from my parents' divorce lawyer. When I answered the phone, she thought I was my mother and told me the details about my parent's divorce. I'm a 13-year-old boy who sounds like a woman and just learned that my parents are separating. FML
Today, my 14-year-old step-daughter announced that she is 4 months pregnant. The father is my 15-year-old son. FML
Today, my eldest daughter announced she was getting divorced. She never even told me she was married. FML
What did you expect?
Today, my husband is hurt and upset that our daughter legally changed her name the day she turned 18. I had to ask him, as nicely as I could, what the hell he expected when he named her Lisa and her last name is Simpson. FML
Today, I found out I have a daughter. How did I find out? She added me on Facebook. FML
Today, a little girl came up to me and asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" I said, "I'm a girl of course!" She walked away, looking dazed and saying, "Whoa." FML
Not the sharpest tool
Today, I took my 16 year-old daughter to get a bank account, taking her birth certificate with us as requested. When the teller wrote her name down on a piece of paper, my daughter said, "How do you know my name?" The teller just looked at her and held up her birth certificate. I raised a nitwit. FML
Today, I found out that my daughter not only has a boyfriend, but that they're trying for a baby. She's barely 15. FML

They probably got your daughter mixed up with someone else.

In India there's a lot of people to get mixed up with.

Hey, OP's daughter is 14. Weird shit happens in middle school.
brown4lifejot 1
In india theres usually no middle school its usually a big private school for kid from 3-18. Or a small village school. Depends on your families wealth.

Let's hope there is a confusion or lets hop OPs daughter doesn't go to prison

Isn't it obvious? Sex change.
GoW_Chick 15
At 14? I don't think so, it had to be some kind of mix up with someone who has the same name or something.

HOW THE HE'LL CAN A GIRL GET A PENIS IF SHE'S NOT TRANSEXUAL FROM BIRTH? Dumbass....
Katiekhalifa_fml 28
Transexual from birth? What the hell are you talking about? If you're referring to hermaphrodites, that's not considered "transgendered" Hormone therapy is used to produce testosterone. You're the dumb ass here.
ndvorsky 4
They can make a penis. I'm not sure how but for turning a man into a woman they turn the penis inside out
Katiekhalifa_fml 28
Your ******** is enlarged by testosterone therapy and they can use skin grafts to create a false erection. Most transgendered men opt not to do that, and to just have their breasts removed, and chest sculpted. You don't have to have a penis to be identified as male.
Ray_of_midnight 23
People can be and often are aware that they're transgendered from a pretty early age. Single digits is not uncommon. It's perfectly possible, and reasonable, for someone who's 14 to have known for some years already that they were transgendered. With support of the parents and access to appropriate medical and mental-health practitioners, some people start the transition process before the secondary sex characteristics develop at puberty. It sounds like OP's son's custodial parent is supportive and, thanks to support from that parent, is fairly well-along in the process. I'd encourage OP to get to know his son better and be more involved in his life. Things like this should not come as a surprise.
Ray_of_midnight 23
Pssst. The polite term for someone born with ambiguous genitalia is "intersexed", not "hermaphrodite". You're welcome.
Katiekhalifa_fml 28
Actually both are correct, courtesy of my sisters pre natal book which talks about such things. But obviously, OP didn't know. The child might, but OP did not. I know you have a great deal of counseling and evaluations before the state will recognize you as the opposite sex. So no matter what the situation, OP should know.

Hermaphrodite and intersexed are different. To be a hermaphrodite one need have both ovaries and testes- ie both sets of sexual organs. This is pretty much only caused by chimerism- when two babies merge into one at the embryonic stage. Intersexed refers to most other conditions which result in ambiguous or incongruent genitalia.

Im sort of embrassed at all of your ignorances. All the transexuals are SEDY. Lol im in 8th grade and we have a ftm trans and he is hot ;)
Katiekhalifa_fml 28
SEDY? The hell does that mean? You're in eighth grade, you can't spell, and you're embarrassed at "all of our ignorances" ? All the transsexuals are sexy? (which I'm assuming is what you meant) you've met one,, not all. Plus OP's problem wasn't their child not being attractive, it was not knowing why exactly they received that letter in the first place. I'm weeping for your ignorance.
hiitisbrooke 28
If she's 14, doesn't she live with you? You would know if she had a sex change. It's obviously a mistake.
desireev 18
Or HIS life??... Who knows?!
bubble25_fml 5
You don't have to get a sex change in order to be recognized as the opposite sex. That's what being transgender is.
_kfchicken 4
India is a third world or a newly industrializing country if you prefer. Like most countries of the sort it's government system isn't up to par with Europe or north America's. so a mistake like this was bound to happen. Sorry op aha hope you get it sorted out
josh8215 21
I read that entirely in his voice. Oh Boondocks....what have you done?
hiitisbrooke 28
But, if she was walking around in guys clothes, wouldn't he notice?

Shit happens when ur dealin' with Indian passport agencies.

You can hide a lot of things from someone that you live with... Just because he's his father doesn't mean he has a clue of what's going on.
UNICORNmonster 0
This confuses me. She could not have gotten a sex and name change without you knowing about ut. At that age, you'd have to sign for testoterone shots and the like. It had to have been a mistake.
xcarxcrashx 9
Obviously it's some kind of error.
sadistmonkey 19
We never know what the rules are in India.
BrokenDreamer24 15
Not exactly. In different countries they have different rules for age limit on sex changes. Like India for example. Maybe OPs child really did have one.
iloveshim 14
You sound like you know plenty about this kind of thing...
LauritaMichelle 7
true.

And what of it if I do?
Lichinamo 33
If you do, we say, "Ok."
desireev 18
Let's hope it's all a misunderstanding and they accidentally sent you the letter or something.. I wouldn't even begin to know what I'd say to my daughter if it were me that received the letter..
SaMmIMonster96 6
I'd say "wtf??!! You could have at least told me." :)
AmbrosiaWriter 17
A good conversation starter would be, "So, is there something you'd like to talk to me about?" and to not be accusing, and to keep an open mind. It's not the child's fault their mind is wired differently than the body was built. I don't know what I'd do if I felt like my body was some alien creature to how my brain works. So, no, I'm not hoping anything of that sort. I'm hoping that the OP sits down with their child and they talk about this, and the OP understands and supports their child.
myoukei 31
if it was something they truly wanted, "congrats" would be a good start followed by "why didn't you tell me?"
Isoldael 27
"... Son... We need to sit down and talk" "Son? What are you talking about, mom?" -OP sighs in relief and throws letter away-
