This essential volume explains what it means to identify as nonbinary and discusses the challenges that come with having a gender identity that is not well understood. Readers will learn the difference between gender and birth sex, and discover the many variations of gender identity that fall under the umbrella of nonbinary. This volume also discusses coming out as nonbinary, gender dysphoria and transition, and resources available for teens dealing with issues surrounding gender identity.
I have been involved with writing and art for as long as I can remember. My interests include animals, nature, and the world around me in general. My cat, Henry the Feline Fiber Artist and I were featured on Animal Planet's Cats 101, and my book, Native Americans and the Reservation, was cited in the Elle Magazine article, Native American Girls Protest High School's Offensive Redmen Logo, by Olivia Fleming.
