What Do I Do? provides what every parent or caregiver of a trans/gender-expansive child dreams of-your very own trustworthy support team of parents and experienced professionals to answer every question you have had, have been too shy or afraid to ask, as well as those you didn't know you need to be asking. Social and medical transition, navigating tricky family dynamics, clearing up misunderstandings of what it means for your child to be trans-it's all here. Organized in Q&A interview fashion, you'll hear a variety of perspectives from parents who share with down-to-earth, heartfelt vulnerability, as well as gaining critical research-backed advice, evidence, and resources from subject matter experts. As this guide shines a much-needed light on how parents of trans children can be as supportive, loving, and informed as possible along what can be an incredibly overwhelming journey, the resounding message from those gathered together for this compilation is abundantly clear: You are not alone. We've been through this. We are here to help. -- Dara Hoffman-Fox, LPC, Author of You and Your Gender Identity: A Guide to Discovery This book answers every single question a new parent has ever asked me - and it doesn't just give one answer, it gives many. In asking these questions not just of parents but of subject matter experts, and in presenting all their answers, any new parent picking up this book will be informed, will be reassured, and will have a wealth of experience and perspectives at their fingertips. 'My Child Told Me They're Trans' showcases that there's no one right way to be the parent of a trans or gender diverse child - it provides new parents with compassion, guidance, and love. -- Jennifer Shields, Healthcare Lead at Qtopia and Rainbow People Health & Wellbeing Advisor at Pegasus Health
