Inhaltsangabe

By now, you’ve probably heard the terms transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender fluid. You might even know someone who identifies as one of those ways or know someone who is questioning their gender. But what do those terms actually mean? Is this gender exploration just a phase due to over-influence by social media or peer pressure? And how do you broach the subject of gender with your child or loved one?

Gender Explained is the complete roadmap to understanding gender in all its forms. Backed by the latest research and featuring personal stories from children, adolescents and parents, clinical psychologists and gender specialists Diane Ehrensaft and Michelle Jurkiewicz will walk you through everything you need to know about today’s gender phenomenon, including:

-Why so many kids today are exploring gender
-What it means that gender is on a spectrum
-How to parent a gender creative child
-How to support those exploring their gender identity

Dispelling myths and answering the most common questions that appear in clinical practice, this book will equip you with the information and insight to navigate this new world with confidence and ease.
