Well I guess your daughter must be 16+ if she's legally changed her name which means that she can do this if she wants to. I don't know what to say really because I can fully understand your disappointment. I don't know about other legal implications but if you'd made a Will naming her using her old name that might be present a problem in the future, perhaps someone who works in the law could advise
This woman is a clown
have u watched the one in Brighton that’s nutsI did mention this to my father, but she’s already had half of her inheritance from him. We’re both at the point of cutting her out of our lives. Since being involved in this cult she has become unbearable. The constant “I will not be misgendered” when we’ve slipped up with pronouns. I’m not wanting to now be shouted at for deadnaming her.Well I guess your daughter must be 16+ if she's legally changed her name which means that she can do this if she wants to.

It’s in Hebden bridge the guys you tube is edge of the matrix
I really feel for you. My daughter is on board with the cult (being kind, everyone is who they say they are...etc) but fortunately is happy being female and using her birth name. I honestly don't know how I would cope if she became a different person.
she'll get in touch when she wants something.She’ll be in her 30’s soon. Lives 4 hours away. I can’t see her wanting anything. Hope losing her mother and Grandfather will help her validation as her new invented person. All her trans friends will be tell her we’re transphobic. Last time we spoke she offered to pay for me to have therapy! She has been telling my other daughter that I am a toxic mother and a narcissist.I really feel for you.

Perhaps the best thing to do (presuming she doesn't live at home) is to just ignore her for a while
I don't have any advice but I am so sorry you're going through this.
Is your other daughter on your side of the debate?
When she first came back as this, a few years ago, her other sister is 10 years younger. I’ve been making sure recently about my feelings on this. She is on my side, and saw the change in her sister as I did my daughter. I said at the time “It’s like she has joined a cult”. And agrees about men being in women’s spaces. I’m drip feeding her. She’d not really thought on it. She didn’t want to be called transphobic as she saw me called. She’ll side with me and her Grandpa - who she spent the day with.
It's much the same when people join these weird religious cults. They need to be deprogrammed when they leave. One day she'll realise how much she's hurt you and her grandfather but it might not be anytime soon
Her Grandfather is 90. Let’s hope it’s not too late. He thinks it’s disgusting as any decent good man does He’s a full blown Terf!It's much the same when people join these weird religious cults.

One day she might wake up and realise that she's been taken in by an ideology and her friends aren't the wonderful people she thinks they are. She'll have to find out for herself that these people might not have her best interests at heart. They only want her to be a member of the cult to back up their own beliefs.
They advise parents of kids who've joined a religious cult to do everything you can to maintain a positive connection and if you’re able, send birthday cards, letters, and tokens of your love and affection. I'm not sure if I would do this though.
Perhaps you should take her up on the offer of free therapy! She'll be paying for it
If she was my daughter I certainly wouldn't pay for anything else if she's abusive towards you.

Really? Interesting. What are they told?God I’m so sorry @knickerbocker glory. It must be so painful to see your child turn into a person you don’t recognise, and has been brainwashed to hate you.
Must be even worse to hear her saying things right out of the trans playbook. They all say the same things
To go no contact with their parents, and any other family member who doesn’t completely affirm them in every way. To instead embrace their new “found family” of fellow cult members. To be angry all the time at all the injustices and micro aggressions they experience every day as a queer person (like being misgendered, or deadnamed). To revel in the drama they’ve created.
