As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I am aware that puberty is a challenging experience for many adolescents and parents. As a parent of a transgender adolescent, I have seen the ways in which the experience of puberty is similar to and different from that of cisgender adolescents. In this article, I describe my thought process behind going forward with several medical interventions for my transgender child and relate this to broader observations about parents and puberty.
作为一名儿童和青少年精神病学家，我知道青春期对许多青少年和家长来说都是一个具有挑战性的时期。作为一名跨性别青少年的家长，我看到了青春期的体验与顺性别青少年的体验既有相似之处，也有不同之处。在本文中，我描述了我为我的跨性别孩子进行几项医学干预的思维过程，并将其与关于父母和青春期的更广泛观察联系起来。
