What do you do when your son announces he is transgender and asks
that you call her by a new name? Or what if your child uses a term
you've never heard of to describe themselves (neutrois, agender,
non-binary, genderqueer, androgyne...) and when you didn't know
what they meant, they left the room and now won't speak to you
about it? Perhaps your daughter recently asked you not to use
gendered pronouns when referring to 'her' anymore, preferring that
you use "they"; you're left wondering if this is just a phase, or
if there's something more that you need to understand about your
child. There is a generational divide in our understandings of
gender. This comprehensive guidebook helps to bridge that divide by
exploring the unique challenges that thousands of families face
every day raising a teenager who may be transgender, non-binary,
gender-fluid or otherwise gender-expansive. Combining years of
experience working in the field with extensive research and
personal interviews, the authors cover pressing concerns relating
to physical and emotional development, social and school pressures,
medical considerations, and family communications. Learn how
parents can more deeply understand their children, and raise their
non-binary or transgender adolescent with love and compassion.
