Gender Explained:
A New Understanding of
Identity in a Gender Creative World
Diane Ehrensaft, PhD and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD
Gender is everywhere. Politicians argue over it, educational systems struggle to define it, and our friends, neighbors, and children explore it. More than ever before, young people are questioning their gender identities and redefining the role of gender in their lives. How should our society—and we as individuals (parents, teachers, friends)—respond?
This book helps to separate medical fact from misinformation in order to answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? How should schools teach young people about gender? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it?
This book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and gender diverse. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity,
it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone
along the gender continuum.
