About this listen

From a leading US authority on a subject more timely than ever - an up-to-date, all-in-one resource on gender-nonconforming children and adolescents

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, with The Gender Creative Child, she returns to guide parents and professionals through the rapidly changing cultural, medical, and legal landscape of gender and identity.

In this up-to-date, comprehensive resource, 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.

The Gender Creative Child unlocks the door to a gender-expansive world, revealing pathways for positive change in our schools, our communities, and the world.

Great book. Not great audio.

the book is great. the narration is not. in the beginning you can hear the breathing and the cuts in the editing, and overall the voice actress is not great.

For all parents, therapists, educators, and all

Many clinical studies and decades of evolving work inform this thoughtful book by an expert in the field. Move from fear to acceptance, stay curious and supportive, and embrace gender as a cure rather than a disease. There are plenty of dissenting voices out there but you don’t have to tolerate intolerance. Instead, you could spend a few hours listening to this book and end up a better ally, activist, and caregiver.
