    Does anyone know of any good YouTube videos or articles that I could show my mom after I come out as FTM? I've got some good ones from PFLAG and a video from Skylar Kergil, but they're not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd like to find something that will sort of show her that this is a real thing and there are trans guys out there who are happy and accepted, that type of thing.

    Here's what I've been finding. My son is 2 years younger than you and just came out to us a month or so ago as trans.

    So I'm like a 6 week expert now. :icon_bigg

    If I can lend a perspective of a parent, feel free to ask. Or just search on my posts here. I cringe when I see the first thread I started... "my genderfluid daughter" Oops. Shouldn't have used the daughter term, but I was still unsure of terminology.

    Thanks for the perspective of a supportive parent. Hopefully my parents will also be willing to learn :slight_smile:
