From Naomi Watts to Robert De Niro: the celebrity parents supporting their trans and non-binary children

Celebrities aren’t usually where to look for parenting tips. The constant paparazzi attention, extreme wealth, and peripatetic lifestyle don’t usually make for the most harmonious family environment, and stories of feuding famous families (*cough* the Beckhams *cough*) are rarely out of the headlines.

But there is a current crop of celeb parents proving themselves to be true stars — raising their trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming children in a loving and supportive way despite the current climate of escalating transphobia. In the US and the UK, governments have enacted bans on trans children participating in sports, using bathrooms, or accessing gender affirming healthcare.
