Transgender Children Today: Shifting the Responsibility for Change Away From Children and Onto Society
Aiden Key- 7/21/2014

The first time a parent of a transgender child asked me for advice, I was thrown for a loop. Ten years ago, I couldn't quite fathom the reality that a family would actually seek to support their child.

If anyone were to support our journey, we should feel deeply grateful.

Written resources, knowledgeable providers and inclusive policies at schools were all things that these parents expected to find but were extremely scarce.
