BY STEPHANIE BRILL AND RACHEL PEPPER 
This comprehensive first-of-its-kind guidebook explores the unique challenges faced by families raising gender variant and transgender children. Through extensive research and interviews, as well as years of experience working in the field, the authors cover gender variance from birth through college. How can you best raise your gender-variant or transgender child with love and compassion, even if you barely understand the issues ahead? How can you advocate for your child in elementary schools? What are your child's legal rights? What do doctors and therapists specializing in gender-variant children recommend? And what is gender, anyway? These questions and more are answered in a ground-breaking book that offers a deeper understanding of gender-variant and transgender children and teens. Stephanie Brill is the founder of Gender Spectrum Education and Training, which provides education, resources and training to create a more gender-sensitive and supportive environment for all children. She founded and runs the Children's Hospital Oakland Support Group for parents of gender-variant and transgender children and teens. She also co-produces the national Gender Spectrum Family conference, for families with gender-variant and transgender children. Rachel Pepper is the Coordinator of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at Yale University. An award-winning journalist and an editor at Curve Magazine, she is the author of The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians and co-author of The Gay and Lesbian Guide to College Life.
