When Kids Say They’re TRANS by Stella O’Malley

There have been many books written for parents who are facilitating a child’s gender transition,but almost none for parents who decide that social or medical transition is not the best option fortheir child.

Written by three professionals working in the field ? Sasha Ayad, Lisa Marchiano and StellaO’Malley ? Is My Child Trans? is explicitly a resource for parents who want their children to
flourish, but do not believe that hasty medicalisation is the best way to ensure long-term healthand well-being.

Parents who have successfully helped their children navigate gender distress without resorting tosurgery and hormones have done so by actively taking the reins, not waiting until they found theright therapist or doctor. Is My Child Trans? will tell you all you need to know, and will give you the confidence to trust your own instincts.

Being the parent of a gender-questioning child is confusing. There is a lot of advice out there,but much of it goes against what many parents feel instinctively is the right approach. And thestakes are very high if you get it wrong.
