Meet Kit - a 12 year old undergoing medical transition - as he talks about gender from his own perspective, and the different ways it can be explored. He explains what it is like to transition and how his friends, family and teachers can help through talking, listening and being proactive.
With illustrations throughout, this is an ideal way to start conversations about gender diversity in the classroom or at home. The latter part of this book, entitled ''How Other People Can Help'' is directed at parents, teachers and professionals, and includes a list of recommended reading, organisations and websites for further information and support, and a glossary for explaining many of the terms used in discussing gender identity.
''A much needed piece of work! The pedagogies outlined in this book have made a positive, significant difference to the lives of young trans people in our schools. By following the practical strategies we can together begin the journey to inclusion. This guide will help you take the first steps to educate and then support you to create an environment that actively celebrates gender diversity! A definite go-to-guide for all schools.'' - Dr Elly Barnes MBE, CEO of Educate & Celebrate
