As her gender non-conformity intensified, we started to notice some stress around things like being grouped with boys at school or in activities. So, by the time she was seven, all of this kind of hit a crisis point and her anxiety was crippling, and her depression was becoming life threatening.
随着她对自己生理性别的不认同度越发强烈,我们发现她会因为在学校或参与活动时,被分到和男生一组而感到有些压力。所以,到了她七岁的时候,这一切几乎是恶化到了一个临界点,她的焦虑严重影响到她的生活,她的忧郁状况更是威胁到她的生命。
