From The Prologue:
Thank you for being curious.
If even opening this book was hard, I’m so glad you are here. You may be grappling with a range of emotions about a young person in your life. Perhaps you’re a parent, anxious about what your child’s gender identity means for their future or mourning the path you once envisioned for them. Maybe you’re an educator striving to create a more inclusive classroom, a healthcare provider aiming to offer better care, or a family member wanting to show more meaningful support for a transgender or gender-expansive young person. While this book centers on the unique concerns and experiences of parents, it’s designed to be a valuable resource for anyone in a supportive role.
Throughout this book, I will primarily use the word “parent” because they are often the ones most responsible for providing support. However, you don’t need to be a parent to find value in these pages. Whether you’re a caregiver, family member, or trusted adult in a young person’s life, your role is just as essential, and your contribution matters. Whether you feel isolated, ashamed, confused, angry, hopeful, curious, or determined—or more likely, a combination of these emotions—you’re here because you care deeply about the well-being of the young people in your life and want to learn how to support them better. This book is your companion.
