A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families

By Pamela Garfield-Jaeger

Transgender issues have become ubiquitous in schools, entertainment, medicine, etc. and many do not know how to approach this sensitive issue. Due to the dominance of a one-sided approach, parents are ill-equipped to discuss this topic with their children or effectively advocate for their well-being. In this book you will learn: The dark side of puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries clinics don't want you to hear. How the internet has tremendous influence on young people. Why a child could choose to be transgender. How therapists are trained to emotionally blackmail parents. Practical tips: How to talk to a teen who suddenly believes they are transgender. How to help your child say no to the pronoun game. How to find a therapist who will work with your child as a whole person. This book is written with knowledge and compassion by a California-state licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience. "This is a must-read for parents. Pamela Garfield-Jaeger offers clearly-written insights into the influences that drive gender distress and practical recommendations for working through it."--Walt Heyer, speaker, author of Trans Life Survivors and founder of sexchangeregret.com. "This book is great! It's a short, incredibly informative gem of a read that clarifies so much around the issue of transition from an informed, compassionate, and care-giving perspective that is sorely needed in the conversation about the issue."--James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses
