anakuroma 's review for:
My Child Told Me They're Trans ... What Do I Do?
by Brynn Tannehill
*Special thanks to Jessica Kingsley Publishers and NetGallery for the eARC of this book*
*NOTE: This review comes from a non-binary trans person who is also the parent of a trans child.
TW: Transphobia, dead-naming, misgendering, bullying, stories of non-affirmation
I'm so happy this book exists. It is going to be life-saving and relationship saving. I know parents who have approached me with "What do I do" questions and I've had to have many sit-down sessions and recommend several books in order to help. This is all my usually advice wrapped up into one easy and accessable place.
The format is great. A question with advice from several people/parents/professionals. The parent or guardian can figure out what works best for their family and situation. It felt like having different people to bounce ideas around with rather than one "you have to do it this way" (the narrative self-help books can often unintentionally push).
So many questions from real people are asked and answered, and it covers so much. I especially appreciate that it offers great insight for diaspora of differing cultures.
All libraries should have this book.
