Transgender Resources for Parents

“Transgender” dogma has jumped to the forefront as a major issue affecting parents and families. “Gender ideology” is pushed by corporations, educators, and politicians. This false ideology is promoted in movies, on television, by news outlets and on social media.

The onslaught has been effective, as almost 20% of Gen Z adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

Here are some key resources – from Focus on the Family and the Daily Citizen – to help parents understand sexual identity confusion; explain to children God’s good design for male and female – and how this is distorted by transgender dogma; and raise children who embrace their God-given masculinity or femininity.

This booklet describes scenarios where you and your family might encounter transgender issues – at school, in private spaces and in your family – and gives guidance for responding with wisdom and grace. The free PDF also helps you understand transgender terminology and ideology and their effects on the culture.
