Become a Patron!I review the booklet I’ll Walk With You: A Guide for Parents for Transgender Children in this below video.
As the title states, it is a resource for parents whose child identifies as transgender. Divided into easy sections to navigate, it answers the Why, What, When, How, Who, and Where questions that parents might have.
The first question being: Why does my child have to be transgender? Is it my fault?
It’s real. It’s one of the first questions any parent would have. Having addressed questions and terms, it explained more about the transitioning process and treatments without getting too technical. It is a wonderful introductory guide without overwhelming the reader, with further places one can go to seek help.
I absolutely love this resource. It is beautifully illustrated and I can feel the intentionality and heart behind it. I would highly recommend it to parents, people who are transgender, and their allies – teachers, helping professionals, and friends.
Each and every one of us should take responsibility to get more information and be more educated because ignorance can do a lot of harm to the people we know who are transgender – and I am sure we have met or know of somebody who is transgender in our life.
You can request for their downloadable PDF and it doesn’t cost a thing – to take a bit and time, and be more educated. Please do it. Be the person who make an effort to learn because you care.
About: I’ll Walk With You is a guide for parents of transgender children to answer their frequently asked questions about what it means to be transgender, and to transition. Collectively worked on by transgender representatives from Oogachaga, Project X, The T Project, and TransgenderSG, this guide aims to be a companion to parents who may be feeling lost, confused, or distressed about their child’s gender identity, while also affirming their transgender children.

About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree – a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. In practice for more than 12 years, she is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore.
Often cited in the media, Dr. Lee is the appointed Resident Sexologist for PinkLifestyle.com; as well as Clinical Sexologist for Singapore Cancer Society.

Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive.
