Each child and adolescent experience their own journey. This can vary for individuals. It is best to give the child space and time to emotionally develop before rushing into anything. Connect with support groups and an experienced gender therapist trained in transgender care. Connect with support groups by selecting the grandparents and parents support group page on this site.
The Umbrella Hour is run by UK Health Radio. This hour is devoted to professional guests who identify as transsexual, transgender, gender diverse, or serves as an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community. The presenters do not necessarily agree with the guests' opinions. This hour is strictly to offer differences in the way individuals experienced transitioning or detransitioning. It also offers a world where individuals with lived experience may not agree with everyone's point of view. What matters most is that parents listen to their inner voice. Meet some of the guests on this show who range from psychologists, journalists, advocates, health and mental health providers to veterans.
