Abstract
For the academician, clinician or other person interested in transgender issues, this article defines populations and identity issues. Then, it solicits the reader's empathy by linking transgender survival experiences which are similar to critical GLB lives. In the face of hostility a transgender person's success hinges on receiving critical care, family and social support. Discussion includes those outcomes when these support systems fail, and how having even ‘one’ supportive family member can garner a successful transition and social adjustment. Challenging questions provoke the reader to think through the human experience of transgender men and women. Discussion also focuses on the changing face of transgender politics and social constructs, and how these effect both adults and children of transgender parents. The article summarizes basic coming out and relationship issues for transgender persons, including parents with minor children.
