When Ryan Norton’s son Mason began struggling with his gender identity, Ryan worried about how to best support him. “It’s still not easy for my generation of parents to know how to raise an openly transgender child…There was so much to work through and, unfortunately for us, we didn’t find much in the way of a guidebook, support programs, or really ANYTHING at all.” In “On Parenting a Transgender Child,” Ryan (Senior Manager, Wipro Austin) shares some of the most common questions he gets from other parents and what he’s learned in his search for answers. “First, there are no right or wrong answers.

“I came out as a transgender man and began my transition just as another round of anti-trans legislation hit. At the time I was working for the State of South Dakota at Fermi National Laboratory on a cutting-edge neutrino experiment. To show his support, the governor came to visit and we were introduced. We worked together to help the experiment become established and gain funding. When he returned to South Dakota, an anti-trans bill hit his desk for him to sign or to veto. His response was, ‘I do not know any trans people personally nor do I think I have met any, so let me take a moment to think about the impact of this legislation.’” Kai Wisser, Technical Consultant at Wipro, discusses the impacts of misidentification and the importance of being recognized for who you are.
