What is gender dysphoria and why does it matter?

The Experiment Publishing

Fear of the unknown is a natural response for some people when they encounter the unexplained, the unfamiliar and unknown. Introducing:

Authors Diane Ehrensaft and Michelle Jurkiewicz offer deep insight into societal questions around gender dysphoria, transgender youth and the LGBTQIA+ community. Their book separates medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and offers answers many questions:
What should parents do if their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria?
How should schools teach young people about gender?
What is gender-affirming care? And when should an individual have access to it?

With clear, expert guidance, this book presents a safeguard against political vitriol, and offers urgent protective protocols for those who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.
