I agree 100%. I live in Oregon, and without doxing myself too much, the town I live in has some great parent support groups for parents of lgbtqia+ and specifically groups for parents of trans and gender non-conforming children. A group like that might either be a good space or have someone who would be willing to talk with OP. But online most groups have had to be very locked down due to trolls on or hateful individuals.

Hey, some experience here due to friends and family members with gender dysmorphia both simple and complicated.
There are no such places online. Due to the culture war bullshit, discussions are polarized to either be fascist circlejerks or strict safe spaces that are so used to “concern trolls” (pose as innocent questions but really just want to open the door to say hoorrible shit), that they can’t allow unsupportive discussions.
Contact real world organizations for trans support et cetera.
They are in my experience very pragmatic and helpful, and are used to and forgiving of people “having a long way to go” to understand, or even to people who don’t understand or really accept but still want to be supportive and get along with a gender dysmorphic friend or family member.

This seems to be a rule of the internet. Concern trolls turn the groups they hate into their own attack dogs.
The internet hates honest discussion more than LGBTQ+ hates Bi people.
