Daphne

Daphne is a senior in high school, looking forward to college and becoming a medical professional. She is struggling in school and constantly fights with her mother and sister at home. She lives with her father but sees her mother every day. In the process of counseling, Daphne begins to talk about questioning her gender identity and that her parents are uncomfortable with how she dresses (more masculine). She states that her mother constantly buys her dresses and has threatened to throw out her clothes she wears daily. Daphne is wanting to explore more about how she see’s herself different than the biological sex she was born with. Daphne is participating in YC’s Trans / Gender Non-Conforming group.
