If you need help starting a conversation about gender identity, or just want to explore more about yourself, I highly recommend this book. As someone who works with youth, I’ve added this book to my tool kit not just for my kids, but also for their parents. Michelle Mann breaks down LGBTQ+ terms into easy to understand definitions with real-life examples. There are fun activities thrown in, deep reflection questions, and amazing quotes (I’m a quote girl, I love me some inspirational quotes)! This workbook incorporates different learning styles, so anyone can use it. Like I stated, though, some of the reflection questions are pretty deep and abstract, so I would recommend those for older teens/young adults.
Mann writes in a way that is very non-judgmental and makes even cis-gendered people feel welcomed, “It’s nice to meet you! We are so happy you are here”. Like, how could you not want to read this book after that line? Mann provides a safe place for personal growth and exploration. My favorite chapter was the Aesthetic one, which explains how appearances do not equal gender - a concept that is difficult for some people to understand.
There is a portion that explains the importance of respecting people’s pronouns/names in a non-aggressive way. I’ve noticed in my boy therapy groups, they seem to still use the word “gay” as an insult and do not show respect to transgendered people. Even though it’s 2022. I will be using this section to help explain “respect” in hopes that I can get them to pay attention to how their words can hurt others. There is also a whole chapter on being safe when coming out, which breaks my heart, but is unfortunately a reality for some kids. This will be an eye-opening read for those boys.
The final thing I want to say about this workbook, is that I loved the ending. They end with a long list of LGBTQ+ resources (23 to be exact!) which gives a quick summary of what services they provide. It will be helpful for kids who are overwhelmed and need to find a resource without the hassle of doing extensive research on their own.
I’m going to end this review with one of my favorite quotes from this book: “In my opinion, gender is a universe. It is a broad spectrum of planets, stars, and sky that truly cannot be contained into a binary.” –Leah Juliet-
