The Answers to Your 3 Biggest Questions When Your Child Comes Out as Transgender

As the parent of a child who just came out as transgender, there are a thousand questions that keep you awake at night. Not to mention the fear and concern for your child. 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?

Hi, I’m Tammy Plunkett!

As the parent of transgender children, I know all too well the overwhelming amount of learning that comes with understanding gender diversity. When my first child came out, I messed up pronouns, I secretly lived with fear and doubt, and I went through a grieving process for the child and future I thought I knew.

Today, I help other parents, caregivers and organizations that interact with youth and families understand how they can affirm the youth in their lives. The goal is happy children, connected families, and a strengthened community.

I am a certified life coach, author of the book Beyond Pronouns: The Essential Guide for Parents of Trans Children, and a speaker who began my career as a registered nurse. I have volunteered on the board with Airdrie Pride for over five years where I launched a peer-led support group. My freelance work has appeared in Today’s Parent, HuffPost and LGBTQ Nation, and I have appeared on national television on The Doctors, The Social and The Marilyn Denis Show, Global Radio, CBC Radio, local television and press, and The Spectator UK podcast.
