Screen shot of one section of link which states: Parents play a key protective role in reducing some of the health and wellbeing challenges commonly experienced by transgender and gender diverse young people. A review by Brown and colleagues (2020) examined the association between family relationships and the health and wellbeing of these young people. They found that those with parents who are supportive (both generally as well as specifically about gender identity), warm and caring, and who they can communicate with directly and honestly had better health and wellbeing (Brown et al., 2020). The health improvements for transgender and gender diverse young people associated with supportive parents included (Brown et al., 2020): 1. reduced anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, disordered eating symptoms, self-harm and suicidal ideation 2. greater quality of life, life satisfaction and self-esteem 3. reduced risk of homelessness 4. improved sexual self-efficacy and consistent condom use 5. reduced risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, for parents to provide this support to transgender or gender diverse young people, they themselves may also need assistance and support (Riggs et al., 2020).

If all parents loved their kids unconditionally, this link wouldn’t be necessary. Parents need to/can do better!
