[quote=Anonymous]There's a chapter about families with a transgender child in this extraordinary book: Far From the Tree, by Andrew Solomon https://www.amazon.com/Far-Tree-Parents-Children-Identity/dp/0743236726 The whole book is fascinating and written with tremendous insight and empathy. A large theme running through it -- including the transgender chapter -- is the complexity of the parent/child relationship when the child turns out to be different than the parents in a way that greatly impacts identify (ex. deaf child w/ hearing parents, autistic child with NT parents, dwarf child w/ non-dwarf parents, transgender child w/ cisgender parents). I would recommend the book to pretty much anyone who is interested in parenting or questions of identity more broadly. But I'm guessing the transgender piece would be especially helpful as you continue to support your friends and their child. [/quote]
