Transgender issues

my step son has mental issues and recently feels he should change his gender to cure his problems. He needs some proffessional guidance re transgender and mental challenges ( I am def not suggesting GID or transgender is a mental disorder ) I don't like labels for anyone at all. It is difficult with my poor Nihongo ability so any advice re a good starting place to help find someone to talk to this confused young man would be very appreciated . love to all

There are many options. Can your stepson read Japanese? Does he plan to keep living in Japan? If so, he can start by reading the following link. Or if he is a teenage student, he can talk to a school counceler. http://www.mhlw.go.jp/kokoro/support/index.htmlI'm also sure that your municipal or prefecture provides a service where you can ask any question in English. Ask them to see if there are English-speaking professionals, if he needs one.

Thanks so much for your kindness and concern.I'll follow your advice and check out the link. Btw I am a foreigner but my step son is Japanese. I am not educated about transgender difficulties but it breaks my heart to see him so confused.... I hope to find a good psychiatrist somewhere just so he can talk to a professional about his feelings. Once again thanks .I feel like it is a good start. Love and light
