My child recently came out as a trans woman. I still see my child as my son and don't want to lose the boy I raised. What should I do?

Know that your child is still the same person she was before she came out to you. You haven't lost your child, she only wishes to externally express how she feels on the inside. Ask your daughter questions, if she is comfortable, and get to know how she feels about her gender. Work on calling her your "daughter" and using she/her pronouns. Hopefully, a level of respect and understanding can bring the two of you closer after this shift.

My brother introduced me to his boyfriend last week. I did not know he was queer and I know our parents will not take it well. He is determined to tell them soon and I really wish he wouldn't.

Your brother has made the decision to tell your parents and the best thing for you to do is to support him. Tell him you love him and ask how you can help. Anything you can do to make it easier on him will be beneficial to his task. Stay positive and keep all other thoughts to yourself!
