NEW CHILDREN’S BOOK TACKLES TRANS ISSUES
A new children’s book about being transgender is dividing opinions in some circles. The book – Can I Tell You About Gender Diversity? – was written by LGBT activist CJ Atkinson, and tells the story of a fictional 12-year-old named Kit who was assigned female at birth but identifies as a boy. As well as discussing the emotional issues around gender dysphoria, the book tackles the practical issues, such as name changes, hormone blockers, puberty, surgery and how family and friends can help. It will be available to use as an educational tool in primary schools.
