Hello gay people in my phone. My child (16) sort of came out as trans to me today. I have been here for the memes for a while, and ive long been a supporter of gay and trans rights.

Do yall have any recommendations of resources for parents of trans kids? I want to help and support them correctly and to the best of my abilities.

Looking for maybe books and communities? Thank you.

    My first thought was “damn i probably have a lot more learning to do” and this is probably the most trans-friendly community im involved in.

    I have trans people in my life, but it seemed more respectful to not out my kid to anyone who knows them before they are comfortable coming out themselves.

    Yes, perhaps a screenshot was unnecessary, but i wasnt sure if there was some nuance i was missing that yall might have a better eye for.

    I understand and appreciate your perspective, however i doubt i would have received such good information had i not posted here. Case in point: a therapist for trans kids recommended a book for me. That is not the type of person i currently have in my life.

    I was concerned if i simply googled all this i might get low quality information since its such a controversial topic and many on the right may have poisoned some of the discourse.

    I will likely remove this post once i stop getting replies based on your notes.
