It’s common for children to experiment with gender roles throughout childhood. However, up to two per cent of Australians identify as transgender or gender diverse. Being trans or gender diverse is part of the natural spectrum of human diversity.

In this episode, we sit down with Associate Professor Michelle Telfer, Director the Gender Service at The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. As well as understanding a little more about just what gender diversity is, we cover how parents can support their children and others through their journey and where to seek help if your child is experiencing distress.

You can find more information through the RCH Gender Service and our Kids Health Info factsheet on gender dysphoria. Further information and support can also be found through Transcend, queerspace, minus18 and Parents of Gender Diverse Children.
