I am going to be spending next week with family members who are very vocal about their feelings on the transgender community. Where/how can find resources to educate myself? I know the topic will come up and I would like prepare myself somewhat.

    So a bit off topic but I found it interesting. I was looking for what GID stood for, gender identity disorder, and ran into an article discussing the DSM-V debat in changing the diagnosis.

    I loved this little quote:

    [Daryl Hill] insisted, GID is not a mental disorder at all. More than anything else, the criteria described reflect “the distress often experienced by parents” who have become “preoccupied with the negative aspects” of their son’s or daughter’s behavior as the child struggles to make sense of gender-related feelings
