Speaker for parents with trans children

We were so lucky at FTL to welcome back Laura Scarrone Bonhomme.  She is a clinical psychologist specialising in gender and sexual diversity.  Considering the difficult situation we found ourselves in due to coronavirus, we had a fantastic turnout of nearly 20 members, most of whom have a transgender child.

We did publicise Laura’s return visit and many of the parents who had listened to her a year ago made sure they were able to hear her again.  Our new members who have recently found out about their child being transgender were able to listen to Laura’s clinical and emotional explanations relevant to her medical speciality. After a very interesting question and answer period following the talk, we broke for a well deserved cup of tea and a slice of Alastair’s amazing ginger cake, before Laura kindly stayed for a further hour speaking solely to the parents who have transgender children.  We who have LGB children made a small circle, half the size of the one Laura was hosting.  This was a true indication of how many parents are coming to FTL because they have found out their child is trans.

Laura’s details are listed below and she has said she will come again next year if we want her… the answer is “Yes please Laura”.
