What can I do for my trans cousin?

[AnxietyDisord3r]

So, I just found out my trans cousin, who is much younger than me, had a bad break up and was cutting herself. We're not particularly close although I do have a good relationship with her (cis) sister. What should I do to be supportive?

Just let her know you're there to talk as you've had similar experiences; text or email will probably be easier. It might be a good idea to direct her to mental health hotlines or charities. Unfortunately you can't help someone unless they're willing to seek and are open to help.

Hello,
I agree with Elis, and would like to add to be supportive whatever she/he feels like, whatever she/he's doing or have done.
I am saying this as I used (and maybe still) hate friends that "spotted" feminine things in me... and later in life I found myself in feeling a woman (mtf).

Listening without judging will be a bless for her/him.

Reach out and offer support. listen to your cousin and share. Make sure your cousin knows that you care are there and are their for him/her.
