Empower, Affirm, and Support—A Lifeline for Parents, Educators, and Advocates

Raising Trans Kids is the essential guide for parents, families, and educators committed to creating a world where transgender and nonbinary youth can thrive. With compassionate insights, evidence-based research, and practical advice, this groundbreaking book provides the clarity and reassurance needed to navigate the complex journey of raising trans and gender-expansive children.

Inside this indispensable resource, you’ll find:

Simple, evidence-based answers to the difficult questions that keep caregivers awake at night.
Tools to dismantle limiting beliefs that may hinder full, unconditional support for trans youth.
Up-to-date research highlighting the critical role of family acceptance in reducing suicide risk and fostering self-esteem.
An evolving online glossary to stay informed about the ever-changing language of gender and sexuality.

At a time when trans youth face unprecedented legislative attacks and alarming mental health challenges, Raising Trans Kids is more than a guide—it’s a lifeline. By addressing fears and misconceptions, it helps families move past uncertainty and fear into pride, joy, and unconditional love for their child’s authentic self.

Why This Book Matters:

Trans kids and teens with supportive families experience lower rates of suicide, greater life satisfaction, and higher self-esteem.
In 2024, a record-breaking 672 anti-trans bills were introduced across the U.S, marking the fifth consecutive record-breaking year for such legislation, intensifying the need for informed and empathetic guidance for parents and advocates.

Discover the pride, joy, and strength of unconditional support. Whether you’re a parent seeking to better support your child, an educator looking to foster inclusive environments, or an advocate ready to take action, Raising Trans Kids provides the tools, insights, and hope you need to make a lasting difference.

“It’s scary not knowing the answer—especially as a parent. But love doesn’t need to make sense to be powerful. Rebecca Minor’s wise book takes away the mystery, the shame, and especially the misinformation, so we can parent our trans kids with clarity and courage. She answers the awkward questions, dispels the nonsense, and gives us the foundation to move past fear—confidently, logically, and lovingly. It’s about damn time!” —Jodie Patterson, Parent, Advocate, Author, and Chair Emeritus of The Human Rights Campaign Foundation Board
