Kids with Transgender Parents
Web Site: http://www.colage.org/kids/kids_w_trnsgndr_prnts.html
Last Update: 5/13/2001
Why COLAGE is committed to serving people with transgender parents: We feel that the issues affecting kids with gay, lesbian, bi, and transgender parents, stem from our parents not conforming to "normal" gender roles. We all have issues about "coming out", our own identity, school-based harassment, and so on. As with kids with bisexual parents, the issues are too similar to ignore. We won't change our name (we like the acronym!), but our mission includes transgender families.
