Being a parent can be both extraordinary and challenging! Questions or obstacles may pop up along your journey with your child. Parenting a child who is exploring their gender identity or has begun transitioning may feel even more difficult. Seeing your child become themselves and develop a positive sense of self and identity is fantastic! Your child will transform their self-esteem and confidence when they feel supported and loved through their journey. This guide has information, tips, and resources to help answer these questions and support your child.
Dear Chuck is a column that allows parents, GSTA advisors, community members, and more to submit questions that will be reviewed and answered by young adults who are a part of the Queeries/Queer Futures group with OUT Maine staff support. If you have a question please submit it to dearchuck@outmaine.org or use the form below!
