Parents of young children, adolescents and adult trans and gender diverse children deal with different issues and questions at different times.
Supporting your child is the most valuable thing you can do as a parent.
Seeking support, advice and information for yourself can give you confidence, increase your understanding and equip you to be a strong ally through this process.
