Hello gay people in my phone. My child (16) sort of came out as trans to me today. I have been here for the memes for a while, and ive long been a supporter of gay and trans rights.
Do yall have any recommendations of resources for parents of trans kids? I want to help and support them correctly and to the best of my abilities.
Looking for maybe books and communities? Thank you.
I’m assuming they meant “talking to the parent, using less complicated, more mainstream words, even if the meaning is a little wrong as a result”.
Which in my opinion is an ok approach, even though this specific parent, just by posting here, appears tech- and lgbt- savvy enough to probably know at least some terms.
Also, they could have just said ‘not trans’ instead, if ‘cis’ would be too advanced.Actually scratch that, I get using “straight” as non-lgbt. It is how is very commonly used outside of lgbt circles.
But not a bad thought on its own.
just maybe a bit othering.
