He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters

This guide mobilizes a conversation about gender identity, from a trans rights activist and athlete. The context: there are record-breaking numbers of anti-transgender legislation that is being introduced in state governments across the United States. Trans people are facing attacks in various aspects of life, including sports, healthcare, school curricula, bathrooms, bars, and nearly every other walk of life. This guide addresses fundamental topics, such as why being transgender is not a choice and the importance of using correct pronouns. It also delves into more complex issues, including how gender-affirming healthcare can be lifesaving.

Author Schuyler Bailar goes beyond making this a book on allyship and directly speaks about trans experiences, calling for people to celebrate radical trans joy and understand their struggles and experiences.
