What I would say with hindsight is follow your gut instinct. I took my daughter to the gender clinic meetings and when they asked what I thought, I told them what I thought. That included saying things I don't think my daughter would have been happy with at that point but I honestly believe it was for the best. It's drastic to go through hormone and surgery treatment so make sure you don't mistake feelings of "not feeling like fitting in" with feelings of gender dysmorphia, which in retrospect are similar but so different and potentially life changing.
