Enter to win My Child is Trans, Now What?: A Joy-Centered Approach to Support

Enter for a chance to win a copy of My Child is Trans, Now What?: A Joy-Centered Approach to Support by Ben V. Greene.  To enter the contest, fill out the form below between Tuesday, May 7, and Tuesday, May 28.

My Child is Trans, Now What?: A Joy-Centered Approach to Support [Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, May 7th, 2024] is a gentle and informative guide for parents of trans youth and offers a judgment-free guide to people across generations, from millennial parents to members of older generations who may not have had previous positive exposure to the trans community.

"A perfect understanding of a transgender person's identity, label, or experience can come on day five, day ten, or day one hundred as long as love and respect come on day one. Just like how we may not fully understand the jobs or hobbies of the various people in our lives yet still support them with respect, enthusiasm, and curiosity, so too can we show compassion to transgender and nonbinary people," says Ben.
