Frequently Asked Questions:
So the Gender Now coloring book is really just for transgender children or adults?
Absolutely not, everyone can benefit from an exploration of gender and our expectations, beliefs, and judgements around it.
I don't feel comfortable sharing such a complicated topic with my child. Isn't this a little too old for a three year old (four year old, five,...) ?
A topic such as gender is often only as complicated as we make it. However, everyone has their own comfort level. While some parents may see this as too "old" for their child, other parents may see it as a godsend for a struggling child longing for reflection and validation. The important thing is that you do what is best for you and your situation. However, we do want to express that often what we think may be difficult for a child to understand is suprisingly much easier for them to accept. Children are naturally accepting of difference, it is often the adults who have to unlearn the judgements and restrictions around gender.
Discussion around gender can often bring up a lot for people. It is normal to be uncomfortable at times as we are stretching our minds and expanding beyond our comfort zone. Yet, this provides us with an opportunity to examine our own judgements and limitations around gender and be present with ourselves. The more presence you bring to your beliefs around gender the more you are able to sift through what you have been taught to uncover your own knowing. It is never too late to open your mind and it is never too early to help keep a child's mind open to all the many ways to be in this world.
