Transgender kids get help navigating a difficult path

[Zorra]

4. Amber is very lucky to have aware, supportive parents who can afford therapy

and treatment. This type of treatment for trans children is long overdue.

Many trans children are not so lucky; sometimes their parents try to beat and berate them into what they view as gender conformity. The children go into survival mode, and hide their real gender as best they can, often adopting alternative personalities of the opposite gender. Serious repression.

This almost always manifests in a whole lot of hurt and misery, in various multiple forms, later in life, for trans persons, and often for the people close to them as well.

This humane common sense approach toward Amber is very encouraging, hopefully, it will become commonplace and will help to reduce the astounding suicide rate among trans persons.
