Highly recommended!"

"Dr. Gromko has been an ally, care provider, and amazing friend to the transgender community for decades. When we needed a trailblazer to offer care to trans youth, she said, "Absolutely!" When she discovered there was nothing written for trans adolescents discussing puberty, she said, "No problem!" We are so fortunate to have both this comprehensive resource for trans youth and a person willing to make history! Thank you, Dr. Gromko!"

- Aidan Key, Founder of Gender Diversity and Gender Odyssey, Seattle, Washington

"What a fantastic contribution that provides honest and easy-to-access information for the growing numbers of transgender youth seeking medical and mental health services. This will become one of the few books I will recommend to the youth, parents, teachers, and other providers with whom I work!"

"This well-written book covers all aspects of the journey of transgender and gender non-conforming youth. It is for the transgender person, their family, and anyone who wants a comprehensive guide.

She covers the person's initial awareness, how to understand themselves, how to look at decisions that need to be considered, and how to seek psychological and medical assistance. Options are presented to ensure a safe individualized change. This is a must-read for anyone interested in transgender and gender non-conforming youth."

- Carolyn Libbey Livingston, ARNP PhD, Clinical Specialist in Adult Psychiatric Nursing, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Seattle, Washington

"Thank you for bringing this much-needed resource to our patients. I learned a lot reading it, even though it is intended for the patients and their families. Any new provider coming into the field of trans medicine would do well to read it as a primer."

E. Antonio Mangubat, MD, Cosmetic Surgeon, Seattle, Washington

"Dr. Gromko has written an excellent, approachable, and much-needed book for transgender and gender-questioning teens. Her chapters on normal puberty, puberty blockers, and cross hormones are frank, thorough, and thoughtfully written. They provide a sound explanation of these important facets of trans youth care, using language that is understandable to youth and enriching her textual content with helpful illustrations and snappy sidebars."
