Books: The Transgender Teen

There is a generational divide in our understandings of gender. Stephanie Brill and Lisa Kenney hope to bridge that divide by providing practical information in their new book, The Transgender Teen: A Handbook for Parents and Professionals Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary Teens (Cleis Press, September 13, 2016). 

Designed as a guidebook for parents, teachers, counselors, and therapists, The Transgender Teen explores the unique challenges that thousands of families face every day raising a teenager who may be transgender, non-binary, gender-fluid or otherwise gender-expansive. Combining years of experience working in the field with extensive research and personal interviews, the authors cover pressing concerns relating to physical and emotional development, social pressures, and family communications.
