‘Girl Nutz’: the Epitome of Femininity 
A Child’s Transgender Journey from a Parent’s Perspective.

This book was originally written to share with other parents of transgender children our journey as a family while we experienced my child change from boy to girl at such a young age. It ideally was written to let you know you are not alone in this experience and hopefully you will find some joy along the way as well. Many sections will carry you on the journey with us from the beginning through to the present day and everything in between. It shares stories, inner thoughts, struggles, triumphs, perspectives and family dynamics involving the transformation. A parent’s perspective is far different from the transgender child or any other member of the family so I hope it helps you understand the inside of a family who has traveled down this path together and come out the other end smiling even bigger than before. Your heart will fill with the emotional aspect of a parent’s love and support that is so clearly needed when raising a transgender child. I have laid out the details from the very beginnings of our journey and documented major milestones along the way to paint a clear picture of how we handled the transformation with our child from little boy to little girl. Events have all impacted our decisions for each and every detail we handle with regards to raising a transgender child, past, present, and future. Join us on this journey and enjoy the ride of this thing we call ‘life’.
