Family Support

Always use the name and pronouns that align with your child’s gender identity.

Be your child’s advocate – call out transphobia when you see it and ask that others respect your child’s identity.

Educate yourself about the concerns facing transgender youth and adults.

Learn what schools can and should do to support and affirm your child.

Encourage your child to stand up for themselves when it is safe to do so, and to set boundaries when necessary.

Assure your child that they have your unconditional love and support.
