One of the most terrifying things your child, your partner, your sibling, or your best friend can tell you is that they are transgender, gender queer, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming. First, you probably have no idea what they mean. Second, you are probably picturing some stereotyped spectre conjured up by a paranoid and uninformed pop media. Third, you are afraid of losing the person you love, of your relationship with them altering. Lastly, you are afraid of how difficult and dangerous their life is about to become. Feelings like these are common and reasonable. The reason you are feeling them is because you love this person. What you do next will not only impact your relationship with them, it will have an impact on their psychological, emotional, and social growth moving forward. We've created these resources to help quiet your panic, dismantle the misinformation fueling your fears, and help you see that the person coming out to you has, in fact, always been transgender, gender queer, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming. That nothing will change. That you will not lose them. That your relationship will be even stronger than it was before. You are not alone. We are here for you, all day, every day, for as long as you need us.
