Free - all welcome

Co-sponsored by the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies, University of Toronto
Transphobia is intolerance of any part of the range of gender identity, and gets in the way of all of us being our fabulous selves. This accessible, illustrated book offers information, quizzes, comics and true-to-life scenarios to help kids better understand gender identity and determine what they can do to identify and counter transphobia in their schools, homes and communities. Considered from the viewpoint of gender explorers, gender enforcers and witnesses, transphobic behaviour is identified, examined and put into a context that kids can use to understand and accept themselves and others for whatever gender they are -- even if that's no gender at all!
For ages 7-11
J WALLACE SKELTON is an educator, activist and writer.
