About this work

Description

"A zine geared heavily towards parents, but useful for any family who desires to gain a better understanding of how they can support their non-binary loved ones. This guide is meant to serve as an introduction to nonbinary gender and a model for what support looks like. After a lot of fruitless searching, I decided to make the resource I was seeking. The information here has been compiled through a combination of research and personal experience. I've gathered insight from parents, invited nonbinary people to share their coming out experiences with me, and received feedback on this text from parents and various nonbinary folks alike. It is my hope that providing this compassionate blueprint will empower families, especially parents, to offer the support their nonbinary loved ones deserve."-- From zinester's website. https://www.craftordiy.art/shop/p/how-to-support-your-non-binary-family-member
