Welcome

Welcome to SPOT (Supportive Parents of Transkids), a compassionate community for parents of transgender children. We understand the unique challenges and joys that come with parenting a transgender child, and we are here to provide you with the support, resources, and connection you need on this incredible journey.

At SPOT, we believe in the power of unity and understanding. Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where parents can come together, share their stories, ask questions, and learn from one another. We know that navigating the complexities of raising a transgender child can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Together, we can find strength, resilience, and unconditional love.

Through our support groups, educational materials, workshops, and community events, we aim to empower parents to become the best advocates for their children. Our dedicated team of experienced professionals and fellow parents are here to listen, provide guidance, and offer a shoulder to lean on.

Join us as we celebrate the uniqueness and beauty of every transgender child. Together, we can create a more accepting and affirming world, one family at a time. Welcome to our loving community at SPOT
