Trans fam - is it appropriate to give a gift (book, journal, etc.) to my nibling who just came out as trans and announced their transition? As the other lgbt member of the family, I feel I should..

I had to actually look up nibling . Quiet fitting term ;). I think a book and note of support would be a very nice thing to do .

Thankfully her parents are loving and supporting and will do the communications as and when her preferred pronouns and names begin to change. But I commit to helping reinforce it and if needed subtly remind people if they forget or unintentionally mess up.

Has anyone read this “coming out happy” book by Dani Max that, coincidentally, is on the EY home page today?

do something to make them know I’m here for them even though we live on different coasts and I’m 15+ years older

Open to suggestions or recommendations that anyone has given/received or otherwise heard about

Absolutely! The journal is a great idea. I’ve never heard of giving coming out gifts before and I love it. I hope this catches on.

I have moved to another country and haven’t been back since. but just found out that my uncle overstays in my parents bedroom. To the point that he sleeps there at nights and my mom has to sleep in another room. My dad doesn’t say anything. We are a joint family and at this point I think my uncle is just abusing his status of seniority in the house. So disturbed since I found this out. How can I help my mom?
