Publisher's Synopsis
Young people today are taking the lead in exploring the complexity of gender that has been denied for so long. Gender-expansive youth are showing that human experience can't be reduced to only one of two options. Gender exists along a spectrum. Humanity is much more complex and interesting than just female and male. This book explains what it means to be gender expansive and why society's understanding of gender is evolving. For people who don't feel at home in the gender they were assigned when they were born, it's a new world of opportunities to express who they truly are. What's the difference between biological sex and gender? Why do some people reject the gender roles they were taught by society? What does it mean to be genderqueer, genderfluid, or gender nonconforming? How can a person know where they fit on the gender spectrum? What's the difference between gender identity and gender expression? Whether you're trying to explore your own identity or better understand a nonbinary person in your life, this book will give you the information you need to get started.
