“How Do I Come Out to My Child as Trans?” (Gender Therapist Q&A)

In this episode of “Gender Therapist Q&A,” I answer a question that comes from a parent who is seeking advice on how to come out to their child as trans. I discuss the difference between talking to kids versus teens, the challenges that can come up for both you and your child, the types of support you can get for both you and your child, and the most important thing to keep in mind through what can be a challenging process.
