Resources for Gender Rebels
Thank you for picking up GENDER REBELS!
Below are some additional resources on names and pronouns, two of the questions I hear the most from GENDER REBELS and two of my other books THIS IS OUR RAINBOW and WHAT ARE YOUR WORDS.
Additionally, I included resources for mental health. LGBTQIA+ people, especially kids, experience higher rates of mental health crises due to social stigma and the lack of access to resources. These organizations and hotlines help provide a safety net. It is up to us to create a better society where people are loved and accepted for who they are.
Below, there is a PDF with a note on a correction for the physical copy in the first print run of GENDER Rebels. If you are bookseller, librarian, or teacher who wants a book-plate version of that PDF to paste into the inside cover of your physical copies, please send me an email using the Contact form at the top navigation!
