I feel incredibly complexity about this...

As a parent, I don't believe in forcing my daughter to do anything... There are life lessons that need to be learned, but infinite paths to those lessons, and if she doesn't like the ones I like (For example, Scouts), I don't believe in forcing it. My daughter is having a good time in Cub Scouts, but if she stops having a good time, I will work hard to find a different path that she enjoys.

I really do believe in Scouting... While I'm not a strict parent, I know strict parents exist, and can easily imagine being strict about Scouts... It is, objectively speaking, a great program... Especially in 2023, when Scouts, BSA accepts girls and boys, gay boys, gay leaders, trans youth and trans leaders, I feel like compromises should be available... Is it totally impossible to reason with your dad into allowing you to join a Girl's troop?

I also recognize that I live in Oregon, and not all states are being as trans-friendly as we are... So maybe that's not the option I see it as... I dunno, I wouldn't force my daughter into scouting, so I don't know... But maybe joining a girl troop would solve some of the dysphoria?

But I'm a cis male parent who had a textbook scouting experience growing up... There ARE trans people on this list... I hope they give better advice than this :p Sincerely, I wish you the best of support.
