Why has this happened?

We often hear parents ask “Did I do something wrong…is this my fault?”

Being trans / non-binary is just who your child is. It is not caused and cannot be ‘prevented,’ just like your gender ‘is what it is’. Approximately 1% of the population are transgender.

The fact that your child felt able to tell you they are trans / non-binary, suggests to us that you are an amazing parent!
