[quote=Anonymous]Good family friends have a trans child, so I've learned a lot (we got to be friends after their child transitioned) but... [list]def. find other parents who've BTDT for advice. Children's hospital runs a support group, and I'm sure there are other forums. [/list]If this were my niece/nephew/cousin/cousin's kid, I'd want to know in advance - maybe just a phone call - so I could know and help support and get used to the new chosen name, and... maybe even reach out to the kid to make sure they knew I had their back [list]Think about offering up books/resources/pamphlets to family that has more questions. This is new to you too I imagine, and helping people help themselves is totally fair. Hopefully you've got more support than you realize! [list]Maybe even leverage recently passed Trans Awareness Week as an excuse to bring it up if you need one... Warmest wishes to you and your child. [/quote]
