Going through puberty and adolescence presents unwelcome changes
for many transgender youth, and this book provides advice to
parents of transgender teens to help them understand what their
child is experiencing and feeling during this challenging time.
Addressing common fears and concerns that parents of transgender
teens share, the book guides them through steps they can take with
their child, including advice on hormones and surgery and how to
transition socially. It addresses the recent increase in teens
presenting with non-binary identities, and reflects major legal,
social and medical developments regarding transgender issues. The
author's insights are gained from his professional experience of
providing psychotherapy regarding gender identity. He provides
resources and further reading to help parents expand their
knowledge. Although aimed predominantly at parents, this book is
useful for anyone working with teenagers and young adults as it
provides many answers to common questions about adolescent gender
identity.
