2018 Gender Spectrum Conference

Depending on age, temperament, intensity of dysphoria, and type of transition, the transgender individual can feel “ready” to varying degrees. Often, children/teens are ready to take the leap before their parents, making parents feel like they are trying to quickly adjust to this idea while their child is flying ahead of them. But what about those scenarios when parents feel ready for transition before their child does? In this workshop, we will be discussing likely dynamics at play when this happens, and how parents can navigate this tricky journey.
