of the child’s transition (especially siblings) and find parental support groups. Having a support system is vital to the entire process. Educate your kids about transgender people in society. They need to hear from you that being kind and respectful is a top priority in life, and that discrimination of any kind is unacceptable. Help them care for not only their closest friends and family, but people outside their inner circle: the new kid in class, the child sitting by himself at the lunch table, a member of the community in a time of need. As teachers like to say: Kindness is contagious. You can help to create an anti- bullying policy at your child’s school or help to promote an existing policy by speaking to the school counselor and other parents. Every child deserves to be loved, live a


happy and fulfilling life and grow up to have a family and successful career, regardless of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity. You can make a difference


in the lives of your kids with GID so they flourish. You may not understand the reason for certain feelings, but you can still help them. Be the positive, supportive voice that can make a difference in your child’s life and in the lives of other children and families.
