Cameron Russo, Hunter Klugkist, Christopher Rhodes, Sam Collins and Jett Taylor have collaborated to make this video: A Letter To The Parents of Transgender Kids.

According to the Human Rights Campaign, family rejection of transgender youth can lead to change in behavior that puts their health at risk, can trigger depression and other mental health problems and can result in homelessness and suicide.

Family support can be the difference between life and death. Would you rather see your child happy or dead? For parents struggling there are many resources available to help you understand. A few helpful sites are PFLAG, Gender Spectrum and Human Rights Campaign.
