Welcome To the Anne M. Vitale PhD Website

I am looking for information on the effect of a child whose father is suddenly becoming a woman, including crossdressing, hormones, name change, etc.

I suggest that you check out a new study by Richard Green recently published in the International Journal of Transgenderism. The URL is: http://www.symposion.com/ijt/ijtc0601.htm

Here is the abstract:
Continuing contact between transsexual parents and their children has met with significant opposition. Two areas of concern are effects on the gender identity of the children and reaction by the children's peer group. Eighteen children, 10 boys, 8 girls of 9 transsexual parents, have been evaluated. Their ages range from 5 -16 years. All live with or have regular contact with their transsexual parent. No child has gender identity disorder. No child has had extensive conflict with the peer group. All continue positive relationships with their transsexual parent.
