From me to you - support and advice for parents whose children identify as transgender/advice for individuals who have or are transitioning
It can be very challenging to come to terms with your transgender identity but it is not an unbearable task. Based on feelings and thoughts, you have undoubtedly known about your gender identity since you were young: female, male, or maybe not within the gender binary at all. You know what your gender identity is better than anybody else. Don’t let anybody tell you that you aren’t transgender, or that it’s just a phase. You are not alone, no matter where you are, you can find other transgender people but also understand that this is your transition and that each journey is different.
