This comprehensive first of its kind guidebook explores the unique challenges that thousands of families face every day raising their gender variant children. Through extensive research and interviews, as well as years of experience working in the field, the authors cover gender variance from birth through college. What do you do when your toddler daughter's first sentence is that she's a boy? What will happen when your preschool son insists on wearing a dress to school? Is this ever just a phase? How can you explain this to your neighbors and family? How can parents advocate for their children in elementary schools? What are the current laws on the rights of transgender children? What do doctors specializing in gender variant children recommend? What do the therapists say? What advice do other families who have trans kids have? What about hormone blockers and surgery? What issues should your college-bound trans child be thinking about when selecting a school? How can I best raise my gender variant or transgender child with love and compassion, even when I barely understand the issues ahead of us? And what is gender, anyway? These questions and more are answered in this book offering a deeper understanding of gender variant and transgender children and teens.

"This book has been very informative and helpful in understanding the developmental stages and early journey of families with gender variant children. I have bought copies for our therapist, elementary school and middle school." — Christy (4 out of 5 stars)

" Amazing subject we all need to know more about. "
" Great book to help understand the spectrum of gender. "
" unfortunately this book caters to parents of very young children, and does not necessarily provide any real information other than "acceptance". While this is perfectly fine, it is not enough for those of us looking for answers. "
" Very interesting. Beginning was very intuitive. Let people define themselves and be supportive. But the end contained a lot of legal and medical information that I didn't know. Gave be a better grasp of some the complexities. "
" Great resource for parents of trans/gnc kids! "
