Overview
Gender as we used to know it is being upended, and no more dramatically than in the hands of the youngest generationāfrom children aged two to young adults just old enough to vote. There has been an explosion in the number of people who are saying they are not the gender everyone thought they were or who do not want to follow the rules of gender inscribed in the patterns of our society. As this phenomenon has unfolded, some people have celebrated, others are alarmed, while many are confused.
Gender, Explained is the complete road map to understanding what is going onāand how gender continues to evolve today. Armed with the latest research, psychologists Diane Ehrensaft and Michelle Jurkiewicz help readers understand todayās gender phenomenon, dispel myths, and answer the most common questions that appear in their clinical practice.
