For Parents

PLAG is an organization that exists to support parents of queer kids.

This website is named My Kid is Gay, but helps parents of trans kids too. Here's one explaining trans identities in general, and here's one specifically explaining non-binary identities. They define a lot of other specific identities too.

General

FTM Magazine - I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it exists and looks pretty good.
