With TGE children being frequently harassed and/or made to feel invisible (and often with very serious consequences) — this book tackles a timely and important issue. The authors present a holistic and expansive view of gender — which accurately describes the diverse genders and experiences of children (and adults). The book offers both theoretical insights and practical solutions, and also includes the voices of TGE people.
