[quote=Anonymous]We were in the same boat last year OP and what helped most was just talking to our trans kid and showing our support as much as we could. We did find a therapist but they weren't a good match for our kid, so that wasn't hugely helpful except as another sign to our kid that we supported them. Be prepared for your kid to be excluded, ours definitely has lost friends over coming out as trans. And let them define what it means to them. I think I assumed initially that if our kid was trans they were gay too, but not so. Their gender identity is different than their sexual orientation. So that was probably naive or close minded of us, but we listened and learned. [/quote]
