Help for Families

Please remember that the family member who is coming out or announcing themselves to you is the same person you have known and loved all along.

The person you have known for a lot of if not all of yours or all of their lives is trusting you with something that is deeply personal to themselves, their gender identity.

This is almost certainly an issue that they have struggled with and have kept to themselves - they were not being deceitful, but trying to understand themselves.  Now they feel confident enough to share their true selves with their loved ones, if you can learn to accept them this could very well bring you much closer together.

Our group is here to welcome and help support you and your family member through this difficult time, many of us have been through this experience and can help you and them come to terms with their feelings and offer advice.
