hi um!! i haven't come out to my mother yet but i explained to her about trans/nb ppl and she warmed up yo it and said if i have any resources she would to learn about it so i was wondering if you had anything i could show her that would be helpful ?
hi there! firstly, this sounds like such a great first step, and this is a really wonderful way to approach coming out when you aren’t totally sure of the reaction you’re going to get. here are some links to resources for coming out to your family, and resources to share with your family:
- our /resources tag
- our /family tag
- gender spectrum’s website (i especially recommend sharing the relevant resource pages with family members)
- our coming out resource masterpost
- our general resource masterpost
- gqid’s coming out resource masterpost, which you can find here
- a guide for the parents of nonbinary kids from lifeoutsidethebinary
and here’s the great list that our mod jodie compiled, with help from links provided by lifeoutsidethebinary, as found in this original ask:
- How to Be Respectful of Trans* People in Just 7(ish) Semi-Easy Steps from Qpnaosc (pdf)
- “Be a Better Ally: How to Support Your Transgender Friends” from Gena Ricciardi
- “TransWhat?: A Guide to Allyship” from TransWhat?
- American Psychological Association: Answers to Your Questions About Transgender People, Gender Identity, And Gender Expression
- So Your Child is Non-binary: A Guide For Parents
- Everything You Need to Know About Nonbinary Identities (an article by Everyday Feminism)
- in-depth interview with a nonbinary person about their identity (article from Zenger’s Newsmagazine)
- Explaining Genderqueer to Those Who Are Not (an article by neutrois.me)
- “forcing kids to stick to gender roles can actually be harmful to their health” (article by Tara Culp-Ressler)
- Middle Sexes: Redefining He and She (an HBO documentary on gender variance available on Youtube)
- There’s No Such Thing as a “Sex Change” (video from TheGuardian.com about how to talk about transgender people)
- Think Your Child Might be Transgender? (an article by GenderSpectrum.org)
- What It Feels Like to be Transgender (article by Sophia Gubb)
