When parents disagree on supporting their transgender child

My teenager came out as trans six months ago and my partner and I keep undermining each other on pronouns, medical decisions, and school issues because we're processing this at completely different speeds. Our kid is watching us disagree about their identity and I don't know how to get us on the same page.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two parents who both want to support their child are discovering that their different speeds of acceptance and understanding are creating confusion and harm for everyone involved.

Worth thinking about
