Gender Google I (children under 13)
Workshop Description
Is a social transition the best thing for my child? How should I tell my family my child is transgender? What should the school be doing to protect my child? What are hormone blockers? If you have these or any other questions about your gender-diverse or transgender child who is 12 years old or younger, please join us at the workshop, dedicated entirely to you! This workshop will be 100% interactive, and provide a space for you to ask medical and mental health professionals questions you need answered.
