Kids 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.

Talking with your Children about Gender Identity Issues -- "Young children in particular may have some difficulty grasping gender and sexual concepts, thus disclosing with moderation is best. One age relevant option I encourage, is beginning easy-to-understand disclosure when children begin asking gender-related or ''personal'' questions. ''Daddy, why are you wearing Mommy''s lipstick and earrings when other Daddies don''t,'' is a pretty obvious indication the child is curious about your behavior." The Purdue Exponent: Features -- Purdue University article on National Right to Marry Day: "Nearly 50 people honored National Right To Marry Day by listening to a pastor speak about her experience as a transgendered parent and address gay marriage and gay adoption issues."
