Much ado about gender -- Why is gender a thing for so many kids? -- Why does gender make people so anxious? -- What about this gender-affirmative model? -- Where have all the young girls gone? -- Teach your parents well: the children speak -- What's a parent to do? -- Gender conundrums: sports, education, and medicine -- Through the looking glass -- Gender evolution to revolution: what's next? "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? In Gender Explained, Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and 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?". 20240916. Gender identity. Gender dysphoria. Jurkiewicz, Michelle, author.
