Can we have board for parents of trans identifying children and young people

I know trans is covered by the T in LGBT, but it’s not really the same experience at all as a parent. LGB kids don’t want to medicalise themselves for life, aren’t changing their names, insisting on different pronouns, aren’t mainly autistic girls with mental health problems. It would be good to have our own space here on MN.

I agree. Sort it out MNHQ please

It's really sad to see LGB board full of trans stories. I blame lockdown.

Yes please - this is a very specific issue and way more prevalent than people think!

Indeed. Your summary is spot on.
