How does a loving and supportive parent support their child when that child's gender doesn't fall in our conventional binary understanding of Gender?  Gabriel and Janna Barkin faced this question when their child's true gender started to assert itself early in life.  

This amazing and inspiring couple model for all parents what it means to be loving and supportive and they give hope and encouragement to other parents who want to understand and support a transgender or gender-nonconforming child.
