This is due to the lack of safe space to express their sexuality and identity concerns.
Is it possible to promote adequate safe spaces for individuals with sexuality and identity concerns? Are our institutions equipped with sufficient resources to create safe spaces?
Our asatizah need to be trained on this aspect to provide guidance to the family members. Or they should be able to identify what resources are available to channel them to get the necessary help For the family.
I dont believe institutions are equipped with safe spaces
parents play important role in equipping themselves with the knowledge and where to get the right information
Currently not aware of any Muslim organisations that provide such services. Perhaps not many are trained in this area. If a one stop centre where someone can get the necessary space and emotional/support without feeling judged.

Possible, but it may be a daunting task. I feel that the community may still be conservative when it comes to openly discussing about these matters, hence, might impede the progress. Normalizing might be the key.
Tbh, not equipped.
Yes possible. However, the resource options available are unclear.
I don't think our institutions are ready to provide safe spaces for such conversations yet. We'll need to 'prepare' these institutions and the grounds.
