[quote=Anonymous]OP here. It’s been a few months but wow this turned dark and judgy, but I suppose I expected that. I think we’re doing good by our kid. We’re in DC and he is in a supportive school environment. I do sometimes worry about the future and just want him to be happy, loved, and supported. Of course I want that right now too and I while I think he is mostly happy, sometimes he is not. And maybe that is normal 5 year old behavior, but part of me thinks it is connected to his gender identity. I think it would be helpful to find a good therapist to talk to (for us the parents, not our kid ... atleast not yet) but we havent found the right person. In the meantime, for others who are on a similar journey, I read a couple of books that really resonated with me and were helpful and affirming - “raising my rainbow” (also a blog) and Diane Ehrensaft’s two books “gender born gender made” and “the gender creative child”. There are also a lot of great children’s books out there - this is a really good and comprehensive list - https://assets2.hrc.org/welcoming-schools/documents/WS_Diverse_Picture_Books_Transgender_Non-Binary.pdf
