Stephanie A. Brill Bücher

Ihr sechsjähriger Sohn will im Kleid zur Schule zu gehen? Ihre kleine Tochter behauptet: "Ich bin nicht 'sie', ich bin 'er'!„ Handelt es sich um eine Entwicklungsphase oder könnte Ihr Kind “transident" sein, d. h. sich nicht seinem biologischen Geschlecht zugehörig fühlen, sondern dem anderen? Dieses Buch ist ein Ratgeber für Eltern und alle, die sich mit dem Phänomen der Transidentität von Kindern und Heranwachsenden befassen. Es klärt sachlich und informativ über Transidentität auf und antwortet auf typische Elternfragen wie: Ist mein Erziehungsverhalten schuld? Ist mein Kind krank? Was sage ich Nachbarn, LehrerInnen, Verwandten? Wird mein Kind eine normale Liebesbeziehung eingehen können? Besonders wertvoll sind die zahlreichen Tipps für Verhalten, Erziehung und Gestaltung des Alltags - damit sich das Kind in Einklang mit seiner Einzigartigkeit entwickeln kann. Das Buch macht sensibel für das Erkennen und Verstehen von Transidentität im Alltag. Hierzu helfen auch die klaren Begriffe, mit denen die Autorinnen arbeiten.

Is it just a phase, a fad, or a real issue with your teen? This comprehensive guidebook explores the unique challenges that thousands of families face every day raising a teenager who may be transgender, gender-variant or gender-fluid. Covering extensive research and with many personal interviews, as well as years of experience working in the field, the author covers pressing concerns relating to physical and emotional development, social and school pressures, medical options, and family communications. Learn how parents can advocate for their children, find acceptable colleges and career paths, and raise their gender variant or transgender adolescent with love and compassion.

Ever since its initial publication in 2008, The Transgender Child has been lauded as the most trusted source of information for families wanting to understand and affirm their transgender, gender-expansive, or nonbinary child. Utilized around the world and translated into multiple languages, The Transgender Child has won accolades from medical and mental health professionals, teachers, and, most especially, from parents. Authors Stephanie Brill and Rachel Pepper have now thoroughly revised and updated their ground-breaking classic with expanded coverage of gender development, affirming parenting practices, mental health and wellness, medical decision making, legal advocacy, and how best to ensure school success, from preschool through the high school years. Drawing upon their extensive joint expertise as pioneers in the field of gender affirming care, and enriched with the wisdom of parents who’ve already walked this path, as well as the voices of multiple professional experts, Brill and Pepper once again provide a compassionate and educational guide for anyone who cares about, or works with, a child who falls outside expected gender norms.

The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians covers everything you need to make the thrilling and challenging journey to motherhood: from choosing a donor to tracking fertility to signing the right papers on the dotted lines. Rachel Pepper's lively, easy-to-read guide is the first place to go for up-to-date information and sage advice on everything from sex in the sixth month to negotiating family roles. Why a second edition? When the acclaimed first edition appeared, the author's daughter was only a few months old. This new edition takes into account the parenting know-how Pepper has developed over the intervening six years, as well as the evolving legal status of lesbian parents, and the increasing importance of the Internet for information on fertility, sperm banks, and donors. The resource section is greatly expanded, as are the sections on each trimester of pregnancy, on childbirth, and on life with a newborn. And Pepper provides more insight into preconception planning for both single lesbians and couples. An indispensable resource, The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians is now bigger and better.
