excellent read/listen for parents

lots of excellent information for parents whose teen has just let them know they are trans gender. maybe even if you suspect but your teen hasn't come out to you yet. there are suggestions on how to approach your teen with love.

Very helpful and informative for parents

I enjoyed listening to this book with Audible. As a parent of Nonbinary teen, I found it's explanations and terminology very helpful. I know as we continue on this journey I will be referring back to this book!

Incredibly helpful

This book is incredibly helpful for understanding what your transgender child might be going through and for understanding what it really means to be transgender. It's a wonderful resource for anyone struggling to understand a transgender or non-binary teen in their life.

Informative

This book was super informative, thorough and inspires a lot of empathy toward trans kids. Also, the narrator has a lovely accent (Irish, I think?) that made the whole thing flow very nicely.

Important tool

It’s a great tool for those who are starting to learn about transgender issues either with a relative or in their career

Everyone should read this

Everyone should listen/read this book. A better understanding can only improve everyone's quality of life.

It was okay

The narration was hard for me. I did learn some new information. It was okay.

Very Helpful

if this is your world, this book is desperately helpful. it completed informed me and transformed me into a supportive and value added parent.

Good information at its core

The narrator pronounces certain vowel sounds in a way that is quite irritating. This includes the 'a' in the word 'family'. As this is a common word in this book, it is very distracting.

The core of this book is very informative for families with children who identify as non-binary or trans-gender. The listener does have to filter through a hippy-esque approach that often borders on being hokey. It is worth the effort, in order to become a more informed parent.
