Raising children who don’t fit neatly into male or female boxes brings a wealth of questions and uncertainties.  Here you will find information and support to assist you in your search for answers. Also take a look at our Resources section and the Ways We Can Help.

Despite efforts to be inclusive of all students, one basic area of student diversity that schools rarely acknowledge is gender. While many children fit easily and naturally into our culture's binary gender options, others do not. However, gender inclusive schools and classrooms welcoming all children and teens are within any school community's reach.

Often the first place parents go as they try to understand and help their gender nonconforming child is a medical, or mental health professional. This places you- physician, nurse, therapist- in a critically important position.

Many social service agencies unknowingly employ discriminatory practices based on personal biases or lack of understanding, rather than informed, evidence-based policies. We provide training to enable your agency to implement the best practices to facilitate positive change.

As families grapple with raising transgender or gender nonconforming children, one of the most unsettling aspects of the experience can be related to the legal issues they encounter.

The vast majority of school or community athletic programs have no policy governing the inclusion of transgender or gender variant athletes. Typically, the coaches, trainers and league organizers have little or no experience accommodating a transgender athlete who wants to play on a team.
