About this ebook
This comprehensive first of its kind guidebook explores the unique challenges that thousands of families face every day raising their children in every city and state. Through extensive research and interviews, as well as years of experience working in the field, the authors cover gender variance from birth through college. What do you do when your toddler daughter’s first sentence is that she’s a boy? What will happen when your preschool son insists on wearing a dress to school? Is this ever just a phase? How can you explain this to your neighbors and family? How can parents advocate for their children in elementary schools? What are the current laws on the rights of transgender children? What do doctors specializing in gender variant children recommend? What do the therapists say? What advice do other families who have trans kids have? What about hormone blockers and surgery? What issues should your college-bound trans child be thinking about when selecting a school? How can I best raise my gender variant or transgender child with love and compassion, even when I barely understand the issues ahead of us? And what is gender, anyway? These questions and more are answered in this book offering a deeper understanding of gender variant and transgender children and teens.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a well-written and informative book about transgendered children written for parents, educators and therapists. Containing practical advice on parenting issues, finding help in the mental health community, advocacy, and medical issues, this self-help book advises parents on how to accept their child emotionally and to support their child with others. As a child psychologist, I found this to be an excellent primer on the needs of transgendered kids. I particularly enjoyed the vignettes of trans children described throughout as it explained the authors' points clearly. The current medical options available, such as using horomones to delay the onset of puberty and then to use opposite sex gender horomones to develop the child into the desired gender (and avoiding development into the birth gender) was fascinating. I did not know that starting horomones pre-puberty could help the child avoid additional surgeries later on. Though occassionally repetitive on some of the points (as all self-help books tend to do) it contains good information for anyone who works with or has a transgendered child.
