Books for helping parents talk to their kids about gender :) shared by a wonderful educator From my perspective, so many concepts/experiences are just part of life for kids but once you've experienced more of society some topics become more sensitive and overcomplicated. Most people I have spoken to about this topic (adults and children) have personal experience questioning the gender norms expected of them. And can relate to some norms expected of other genders. And might feel more comfortable expressing those sometimes. Can't wait until this is no longer a big deal, there are really pressing problems to solve in this world and this is not one of them. Enough hate, fear, violence, avoidance. We have a lot to learn from kids <3 So maybe these books are more for parents than kids, but either way - awesome to see #genderidentity #childdevelopment #lgbtqia #lgbtq #genderequality #gender #childrights #parenting

Today we celebrate International Pronouns Day! 🌈 Today is about respecting, sharing and educating about personal pronouns. As Pronouns.org puts it ‘referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity.’ Often when using pronouns in English there is a gender implied – like ‘he’ to refer to a boy or ‘she’ to refer to a girl. These associations are not always accurate. And often people make assumptions about the gender of another person because of how they look or their name. Personal pronouns can be an extremely important part of someone's identity. Using someone’s correct personal pronouns shows you respect them and advocate for creating an inclusive environment. 🤔 If you’re unsure – just ask them! And if you’re confused, seek to find out more and learn about pronouns. 💞 So today we celebrate all identities and expressions. Let’s all work together on creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. 👉 For more LGBTQ+ youth mental health resources, head over to headinthegame.us #ProunounsDay #LGBTQ #Inclusion #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthMatters Beyond Sport

📚 All of these books are incredible recommendations! I'd also love to include When Aidan Became a Brother and, when talking about gender/self expression, Julian is a Mermaid and from the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea. Children are already developing an understanding of their gender before age 2 (1). This work is URGENT. This makes space for ALL of our children, whether they identify as LGBTQIA+ or not, to be expansive with theirs and others' gender and presentation. (1) https://lnkd.in/ei9naS_Q

Many organisations are keen to 'know the numbers' when it comes to employee demographics, but often get it wrong in the terms or options offered to help people feel like they can be seen / counted / included. Here's a recommended set of indicators from ACON for anyone wanting to #makeitcount #wearehere #inclusionmatters #lgbtqia

What gender affirming care actually is and its importance in the lives of gender diverse folx continues to be misconstrued. While not an exhaustive list, here’s some information about the many different steps and gender affirming care options there are. Also, you’ll notice that gender affirming care isn’t just for gender diverse folx. Some of these steps and interventions apply to heteronormative cisgender people who want to feel more confident and connected to their bodies too. • • • #nonbinary #enby #nb #queer #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #genderdiverse #genderdiversity #mentalhealth #mentalhealthcare #genderaffirmingcare #hrt #lgbthealth #transhealth

These 3 books are great for helping younger children to understand gender identity. I love them as they are a simple resource for parents, who might not know how to talk about gender with their kids - especially if those kids have siblings who are transgender. They are also great for kids who are starting to realise that they themselves are transgender 🏳️⚧️ If your next thought is, they're too young to know.... gender identity begins around 2 or 3 years and is locked in around age 4. Most transgender children first experience gender dysphoria between 3 and 7 years. ❤️ IMAGINE if those kids were met with a wonderful story about their life and they could see themselves in a book, rather than potentially feeling isolated. #parenting #genderidentity #transkids #books #parentingtips #childrensbook #LGBTQ #LGBTQbooks #LGBTQyouth

There's a great post in this week's spotlight that covers the heightened privacy risks faced by users of sextech, exemplified by past data breaches exposing individuals on platforms like Grindr (and others). Catholic priests were outed in some cases simply for being gay, leading to resignations and serious consequences. The potential for serious consequences such as job loss for people simply living their lives, as well as the financial hardship and social discrimination experienced by those in the pleasure industry when private information is exposed during data breaches. Collectively, we must avoid letting a limited perspective on who holds the authority to define morality dictate the quality of life for a significant portion of our population. While discussions on privacy and data breaches have become an important aspect of the challenges folks are leveraging in pushing back against censorship, it's also key that we acknowledge that privacy concerns are not exclusive to this sector and that in a wider sense, there have been wide spread instances of consumer's privacy being exploited as a result of technological vulnerability along with corporate data collection activities. This is a problem that won't be solved by legislation alone and we'll arrive at better solutions as more folks become informed and involved. #sextech #datacollection #privacy #marketingandadvertising
