Gender Identity Workbook for Teens by Andrew Maxwell Triska Msw Lcsw

Supportive exercises and advice for teens exploring gender identity

Discover more about who you are and who you might want to become. Whether you've been pondering big feelings and questions about your gender, or you're just a little curious about it, the Gender Identity Workbook for Teens is an interactive workbook that will walk you through what gender identity actually is. You'll learn that there are endless ways to express yourself and that there's no right or wrong way to identify.

Try out writing prompts, quizzes, and activities that will help you organize and understand your thoughts about your identity, along with practical advice for talking about your gender, determining new names and pronouns, and getting involved with supportive communities both in real life and online.

• Find the right language--Get clear, detailed information on gender identities across all spectrums, including nonbinary, nonconforming, cisgender, transgender, genderqueer, agender, and more.
• Real examples--Read reassuring stories from real teens about their experiences with gender identity, plus a practical Q&A section for handling everyday scenarios you might encounter.
• What gender really means--Learn about the different components of gender identity, and then explore how you feel about your own brain and body, and learn why it's okay if you're still figuring out who you are.

Take the first step on the path to discovering your authentic self.
