Transgender Families - Diana Sorrentino

Descriere

nThis book has been developed specifically for parents, partners, and the family members of a transgender loved one to validate their emotional experiences and the challenges they and their loved one will be facing. They will also require reliable information, access to educational resources, and the emotional support they will need to address and manage the challenges they will be presented with. n nn nWhy is this book important? This book is important because parents and family members will become unsuspecting participants in a transgender family member's journey of exploration and growth without warning, knowledge, or even the slightest understanding of what it means for an individual to be gender diverse or transgender. n nn nThat lack of knowledge, or any level of understanding, will present the parents, family, or partner with emotional distress, anxiety, duress, interpersonal conflicts, familial complexities, societal and cultural challenges they are ill-prepared to deal with. Chaos, fear, anger, hostility, volatility, and the rejection of the individual has typically been experienced.n nn nTransgender Families, helping parents and families understanding gender diversity and being transgender, is an essential read for these families because: no one transitions alone.n
