If you are a transgender parent, you should take advantage of the free toolkit authored by Lambda Legal. You can download it to your computer or order a hard copy version.
The toolkit provides a wealth of useful resources and Q & A’s. In its toolkit, Lambda Legal states that:
“Good parenting is good parenting, regardless of gender identity. A common misconception (often exploited in custody disputes) is that transitioning—living and presenting oneself consistent with one’s
gender identity in everyday life—is a selfish act rather than a difficult journey that is not embarked upon casually. Transitioning is more accurately understood as a step toward the alignment of a person’s
mind and body, and as such can benefit everyone affected, including children. And that’s not to mention the value to children of learning about human diversity and tolerance.”
