Gender Explained:
A New Understanding of Identity
in a Gender Creative World
*Finalist for the 2025 Lamda Literary Awared for LGBTQ+ nonfiction
A world-leading expert and clinical psychologist team up to "accurately capture the pulse of the conversation about gender in the United States, expand awareness and knowledge about gender, and educate readers about common myths and misinformation" -Library Journal, starred review
Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from misinformation and answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it?
With clear, expert guidance, this book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.
