Creating a better world for transgender youth and their families.
We know that for gender-expansive youth, getting your family to understand your gender identity can be a long, complicated, and stressful process. We also know that families can sometimes feel alone when a family member comes out as transgender or gender non-conforming and don’t always know how to be supportive and affirming.
Transforming Families (TFF) is a community where transgender, gender non-conforming, and questioning youth and their families come together to support each other in a safe, welcoming space. We share our stories, victories, challenges, and resources to make our communities a better place for trans youth and their families.
