Happiness for a parent is happiness on the face of

Happiness for a parent is happiness on the face of our children.
There is no easier way to help your transgender child find happiness than by affirming them. Use their chosen name and pronouns, let them choose how they dress and style their hair, and listen to them. When they're happy you'll be happy!
And, of course, it's not always that simple and easy of a solution. That's why I wrote Beyond Pronouns (link in bio) to help guide parents through the tougher emotions as well. But for now, start with the pronouns and enjoy the joy on their face.

It's out! You can watch my appearance on @thedoctorstv at the link in my bio now.
It was so great to have friends and family watch the show live over Zoom with me. I cried a little when I heard the final recap of the show say how much our story touched them.
Parents of Trans Children, we have a voice and we matter. We are the link to making our children safe and happy and fulfilled. I will keep advocating for us!

Meet your 2022 Amazing Airdrie Women Award recipients.
The @gp.law AMAZING ADVOCATE award is given to an amazing woman whose passion for a local cause or NFP group inspires and motivates others to become involved and make a positive impact.
Congratulations to TAMMY PLUNKETT for being this year's award recipient. Here's a few words from Tammy after accepting the award.
"I am so grateful to Sherry and the whole airdrielife magazine team and sponsors for this community-building event celebrating Airdrie women and my Amazing Advocate Award. While I love the recognition for my hard work over the last five years, this award is especially meaningful to our 2SLGBTQ+ community here in Airdrie. Every time we share a happy story about our queer community, it helps youth feel comfortable being their authentic self. Thank you so much."

How to be an ally to trans or non binary youth:
🔎 Use the name that people give you
🔎 Don’t assume gender based on Expression, Voice, Name, Identification
🔎 Avoid gendered language - intake forms, phone calls, avoid Mr. Mrs, Miss, Sir, Maam
🔎 Don’t put your comfort and fear of making a mistake before respecting how they want to be addressed
🔎 Open the door to others by offering your pronouns first
🔎 Initiate positive conversations about theLGBTQ2S+ community
🔎 Challenge gendered assumptions, language and stereotypes
🔎 Enable gender neutral washrooms
🔎 Be a voice against derogatory comments and stereotypes
🔎 Be a visible ally in the community

No child becomes transgender the day they turn 18,

No child becomes transgender the day they turn 18, they exist and they need to be affirmed. It’s as simple as using the pronouns and name they ask for and dressing them in a way they feel comfortable. Surgery and medication are not an automatic choice for trans kids.

I'm so grateful to those who took the time to read

I'm so grateful to those who took the time to read and share their thoughts.
"This book largely talks about one parent and their transitioning son, but it talks a lot about how to be an ally to your trans or gender diverse child.
While I am not a parent, I am a child of a trans parent and I myself am gender diverse. My parent and I grew up in starkly different times, and were treated very differently when it came to our gender diversity. This was refreshing to see from the perspective of a parent, and seeing how you can assist your child with a social transition.
I think the book was very well executed, and it highlights a lot of struggles that those that are gender diverse experience, and how to better assist as an ally. I don't think you have to be a parent to read this, I think you merely have to be an ally. This could help you assist in your friend's child's transitioning, or if you ultimately decide to be a parent one day.
One fault that this book has is that a lot of categories got clumped together, and I would have liked to see them a little more separated out, as well as giving more time to expand on each of these topics."

Answers to your 3 biggest questions when your child comes out as transgender or non-binary.
If you are the parent of a child who just came out as transgender, there are a thousand questions swirling in your mind and emotions you didn’t even know existed swimming in your chest. I know because my own son, assigned female at birth, told me he was transgender when he was 11 years old. This eBook is meant to address the first 3 biggest questions after your child comes out:
👉 What is transgender?
👉 Is my child okay?
👉 Where do we start?

What an AMAZING evening! Thank you so much to ever

What an AMAZING evening! Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me, and @airdrielifemag for these meaningful and community building awards.
I am so happy for the queer kids in Airdrie who get to see that they matter, that an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community earned an award in "rural" Alberta.
Thank you for nominating me @hspearmano and @kimcheelauthor. Your friendships mean the world to me.

This review right here is getting printed and post

This review right here is getting printed and posted on my desk as the exact reason I wrote Beyond Pronouns. It makes the risk of receiving transphobic hate worth it. It makes spending way too much of my summer indoors writing to make a deadline worth it. It makes sharing our family's journey with vulnerability worth it.
I hope this book touches many parents of trans children moving forward.

As the parent of a transgender/nonbinary child who recently came out, I've been seeking books to help me process the various emotions I've had and learning as much as I can. I'm not much of a nonfiction reader, so I have to admit that sometimes it feels like a chore. But this book was different - I really enjoyed reading it. It is written in a way that feels more like talking to a friend who's been there than a factual handbook. It's the best book for parents of transgender children that I've read so far, and I think it's exactly what I needed right now.
The author of this book has a transgender son, so she shares their story throughout the book. I think it really gives the book a personal touch, The book felt very validating, recognizing the range of emotions and experiences that a parent goes through as normal, and gently guiding you in a direction that is best for you and your child. Multiple times the book talks about how we need to take care of ourselves if we want to properly support our children, and this was something I really needed to hear. Each chapter ends with some reflective questions meant for journaling and processing what you have read.
I love the wonderful analogies that the author gives throughout the book, especially the one about how it's like being on a bus. It puts this experience into terms that are easy to understand and really give a great perspective. I've talked about it with both my husband and therapist when explaining things. It's helped me understand in a way that I then can help others understand.
I loved this book so much that I've already preordered a paperback copy for when it releases. This is a book that I think any parent of a transgender child should read.
