Honestly agreed at that age.
Just remember there's outside influences. If you aren't clearly demonstrating you are supportive now, regardless of whether she changes her mind later or not, she's likely to learn is something to be ashamed of and to keep a secret. After internalizing that, it can be hard to trust people even if they're trying to be supportive. Personally, I can remember hiding things by around the age of 7 or 8. My mom was supportive of gender non-conforming behavior, but only at home and that (combined with broader interactions with people) just taught me it was something to hide, including from my mom.
