"Too often, the resources available to adults advocating for transgender students are boring, overly focused on abstract policy, don't include the voices of transgender people, or don't spend enough time on tangible and practical ways to improve the lives of trans kids. Fortunately, the simple framework in this book avoids these pitfalls by tying everything back to the 4 Core Principles: Educate to foster understanding across differences, Affirm to encourage confidence in both trans youth and allies, Include to nurture an integrated classroom community, and Interrupt to catch and redirect potential difficulties before they grow into lasting damage. The book includes practical tools that readers can start using on day one, personal stories from its co-authors, input from both trans youth and trans adults, and model policies for teachers, schools administrators, and public policymakers.

The book includes ways to engage trans youth, and youth allies to ensure adults are advocating with youth, not simply for youth."-- Provided by publisher.
