My daughter self diagnosed after being influenced by trans patients at her eating disorder clinic and “affirming” social media content. She was trans because she and her “friends” said she was, so her therapist confirmed this self diagnosis. Thankfully, two years later, she came to her senses and realized she was heavily influenced and not trans after all (although she kept her new name). In our area, she could have easily found a doctor to start her medical transition if she had asked for it.
