This comprehensive first of its kind guidebook explores the unique challenges that thousands of families face every day raising their children in every city and state. 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.

Excellent book anyone wanting to understand the transgender fact.

Reviewed in Canada on May 11, 2017

If you are facing the fact of a transgender child, or even suspect that your child may be gender fluid in someway, this book will provide a good deal of understanding and a good deal of excellent advice. Our society has a long way to go in understanding that gender and sexuality are two different and distinct attributes and that both are non-binary, existing on a spectrum. This book explains the basic facts in a clear and concise manner. I paticularly appreciated the many statements from parents and children who have lived the real world experience. I am a grandfather of a transgender child and I would whole heartedly recommend this book.

A must read for everyone interested in accepting all people as equals and with compassion. It was a eye opener and it has given me an understanding about the differences along the gender spectrum. This book is comprehensive and research based.

Fabulous resource

Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2009

The Transgender Child is MUST read for every parent, family member, doctor, teacher, etc. of a gender-variant child. It has given me tremendous insight and understanding regarding the feelings/behaviours/issues/etc. my child is going through and it has given me tools and resources to support my child. It was the only resource I was able to find for young children with gender-variant behaviours. I am buying copies to give to my child's doctor and school. This book is so wonderful.

I bought this book to help me understand how to deal with the practical and emotional challenges of bringing up a transgender child. It was easy to read and very helpful. The only downside for me is that being a US publication many of the legal issues and help organisations are only valid in the US. It did provide practical advice on most transgender issues, how to tell people about your child and tips on dealing with schools, etc.

With greater tolerance of difference, the real extent of transgender situations is becoming more apparent. This book is a must-read particularly for parents and relatives, but also those in institutions which deal with children, especially schools. Anyone who want factual information about the subject will gain from reading this book.
