Beyond Pronouns

The Essential Guide for Parents of Trans Children

De: Tammy Plunkett

Narrado por: Patricia Rodriguez

If your child or teen recently told you they are transgender, non-binary, or genderfluid, you’re bound to have questions. You may wonder how best to support your child’s transition and doubt whether you are making the right decisions.

When her son came out as transgender, Tammy Plunkett had the same worries. In Beyond Pronouns, she shares her candid experiences learning to navigate her child’s transition and provides clear and practical guidance to help you do the same. She deals with many frequently asked questions, including: Is this a phase? Why not wait until they’re an adult? How do I tell others my child is gender-diverse? Where do we start a child’s transition?

Offering gentle guidance through the first one hundred days and beyond, Tammy uniquely addresses the need for parents to be supported so they can best care for their child. You will find ways to face common fears, have important conversations with your child, be a good ally, and much more, with age-appropriate approaches that aim for a happy and connected family.

Great resource for parents of transgender kids

I am a resource librarian for parents, advocates, and loved ones of the LGBTQ+ community and this is a well researched and well written resource by the parent of a transgender son, who was a registered nurse prior to her advocacy work in the transgender community.
