I recently read a Young Adult romance novel called Almost Perfect by Brian Katcher. It is about a TG 18 y/o girl in Missouri whose family wouldn't let her go to hs and was not supportive of her, but they move and when she turns 18, she decides to go for her senior year. She starts a relationship with a boy, and when she tells him about herself, he's anything but accepting at first, but he slowly warms up and begins to be the support that she desperately needs. It is a very good book, sad and a little bitter-sweet, but so goes the story for a lot of us, right? I recommend it.

If you ask me, it's kinda unrealistic she'd come out to he family.

I've read this book (twice, in fact), and the plot seems plausible.

it was written by a straight cis male who did not know much about the transgender community before deciding to write this book, and he did a lot of research on us. So I am told by the author, who I am FB friends with. He did his best, and for the most part I think the story was plausible and fairly realistic. I don't know many other novels on tg's, could anyone point me in the direction of a good one if there are any out there?

Luna (MTF) by Julie Anne Peters is probably the most important novel I ever read. Parrotfish by Ellen Wittwinger (FTM) is another great one.

I'm currently working on a follow-up to my first novel. That novel was about a teen bisexual cis-male. The one in progress is about a teen MTF in transition.

Additionally, a local high school over here had an openly trans (MTF) valedictorian last school year. She's now at Stanford. Yes, trans kids do come out to their parents.

Only supportive ones, I'll never come out to my mother.
