Title: Online/Books Information/Resources for Parents?
Post by: Crypt77 on October 29, 2010, 11:32:03 AM
I came out to my dad a few months ago when he was in town. He seemed supporting of it in a "I'll always love you" type of way. Well now that I'm going to be starting T in 3 weeks, and will be soon changing my name, I want to send him some resources that he could read on and so forth and so forth. Just so he has more information on what being transsexual is.

So anyone has any list of books, and preferably online resources I can send him? I found some on susan's but more would be nice. :)

I've collected a load of links in my time here. You could give them to him or perhaps make some printouts.

The last one, in particular, is primarily aimed at MtF people. But it has a large number of photographs of people, many prominant in various fields, who have successfully transisioned.
