An essential primer on gender literacy from leading experts on the front line of the cultural and political debate
Gender as we used to know it is being upended, and no more dramatically than in the hands of the youngest generationfrom children aged two to young adults just old enough to vote. There has been an explosion in the number of people who are saying they are not the gender everyone thought they were or who do not want to follow the rules of gender inscribed in the patterns of our society. As this phenomenon has unfolded, some people have celebrated, others are alarmed, while many are confused.
Gender Explained is the complete road map to understanding what is going onand how gender continues to evolve today. Armed with the latest research, psychologists Diane Ehrensaft and Michelle Jurkiewicz help readers understand today's gender phenomenon, dispel myths, and answer the most common questions that appear in their clinical practice.
This book advocates for gender affirming care and highlights the importance of listening to what young people are trying to teach us about gender amid conflicting social and cultural norms. It features personal stories from both gender creative children and adolescents as well as parents whose children are playing with gender.
Gender Explained pulls back the curtain on how and why the youngest generation is doing gender in new and different ways and outfits all of us with the gender literacy to understand gender and move freely in this new world.
