Description
Who do you think you are? Part of identity is how people experience their gender. Transphobia is intolerance of any part of the range of gender identity. This accessible, illustrated book offers information, quizzes, comics and true-to-life scenarios to help kids better understand gender identity and determine what they can do to identify and counter transphobia in their schools, homes, and communities. Considered from the viewpoint of gender challengers, gender enforcers, and witnesses, transphobic behavior is identified, examined, and put into a context that kids can use to understand and accept themselves and others for whatever gender they are—even if that's no gender at all!
Advance Praise
"The book's content is incredibly (and sadly) relevant ... Transphobia: Deal With It is a necessary book for school libraries, classroom collections, and home use. Recommended."

Berta L, Educator
This is an excellent introduction to understanding gender identity and transphobia, with comics, examples, quizzes, and lists of do's and don'ts that challenge readers to question assumptions about gender and sex, stereotypes, and the use of pronouns or chosen names. Aimed at middle school grades on up, this is a short and accessible book. The illustrations take care to show diversity in gender, ethnicity, and abilities. The back of the book has links to further resources, such as helplines, other books, and organizations - though the information is Canadian-oriented, given that the publisher is Canadian. Transphobia: Deal with it is a timely guide that should be in every library, and also makes a great starting point in the classroom for discussions on gender (the publisher has a free teaching guide online).
Montzalee W, Reviewer
Transphobia: Deal with It and Be a Gender Transcender by J Wallace Skelton is a short book but full of much needed info, unfortunately. This book is made for middle school and up. It starts by letting the reader know what trans gender is and what it isn't then what the transphobia is. There are multiple examples of transphobia behavior, those blatant and those subtle that seem harmless. The book gives quizzes then discusses the section at the end. Myths are also discussed. The book is great for those that are trans and those that are not. This book gives info so all can be educated and safe. Great pictures to bring home the point. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.
