Description
Who do you think you are? Part of identity is how people experience their gender. Transphobia is intolerance of any part of the range of gender identity. 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 challengers, gender enforcers, and witnesses, transphobic behavior 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!
Advance Praise
"The book's content is incredibly (and sadly) relevant ... Transphobia: Deal With It is a necessary book for school libraries, classroom collections, and home use. Recommended."

Transphobia: Deal with It and Be a Gender Transcender by J Wallace Skelton is a short book but full of much needed info, unfortunately. This book is made for middle school and up. It starts by letting the reader know what trans gender is and what it isn't then what the transphobia is. There are multiple examples of transphobia behavior, those blatant and those subtle that seem harmless. The book gives quizzes then discusses the section at the end. Myths are also discussed. The book is great for those that are trans and those that are not. This book gives info so all can be educated and safe. Great pictures to bring home the point. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.
