The Gender Creative ChildThe Gender Creative Child

"In her groundbreaking first book, Gender Born, Gender Made, Dr. Diane Ehrensaft coined the term gender creative to describe children whose unique gender expression or sense of identity is not defined by a checkbox on their birth certificate. Now, she returns to guide parents and professionals through the rapidly changing cultural, medical, and legal landscape of gender and identity. Dr. Ehrensaft explains the interconnected effects of biology, nurture, and culture to explore why gender can be fluid, rather than binary. As an advocate for the gender affirmative model and with the expertise she has gained over three decades of pioneering work with children and families, she encourages caregivers to listen to each child, learn their particular needs, and support their quest for a true gender self. Diane Ehrensaft, PhD,is a developmental and clinical psychologist at the University of California at San Francisco"--Provided by publisher.
