This new LGBTQ parent could use some support. [View all]

[sybylla]

Our daughter came out to us last night about being trans and her plans to transition physically to a woman. There are so many emotions we are feeling right now, but primarily love and support are fairly evenly balanced with fear and dread for what she faces going forward. We have always been strong LGBTQ allies. Now we need to know and understand how to support someone close to us as they transition - which we see now as a much bigger haul than being a community support member.

Any links, helpful online support groups for parents, advice and/or dos & don'ts that most parents don't think about are welcome.

Edited to add that complicating matters is the fact that she and her wife are expecting a baby in about 6 weeks. There is just so much to process.
