For all teens curious about exploring gender identity, author Andrew Triska has a message for you: there's no wrong way to have a gender and no shame in the thoughts and feelings you may experience along this path to self-knowledge. In this warm and non-judgmental guide, Triska offers reassurance and invites readers to honor their own feelings as they navigate the well-honed exercises and examples contained in this workbook. The author has created a powerful tool for teens to not only explore gender identity and expression but to better understand themselves and the world around them.
