Review :
This is a well-written, well-researched book that is very informative for the general reader, like me. Excellent recommendations for navigating this changing world and being supportive of trans friends and family members. Christy Whittlesey has written a must-have guide for anyone seeking to understand and learn what it means to be an ally of the transgender community. She encourages readers to continue to listen, disrupt the system, and be a voice when others can't. It is full of important information like the power of pronouns and the significance of intersectionality. Whittlesey empowers readers to embrace individuals in their workplace, family, and community. Impressive introductory guide to being an ally to a person who is transgender or non-binary. There are helpful tips related to the importance of language, use of listening skills, and normalizing gender neutral practices in our daily lives. The contents of this book ultimately reminds us to be mindful of the humanity of every person we encounter. Christy provides information that every parent should know about being a trans or non-binary ally, including resources on where to find out more. She gets you thinking from a different perspective and shows that trans people just want to be heard, affirmed, and feel safe. Being a trans ally means taking small, everyday actions. We can all think about our environments and consider how we might make them more gender-inclusive. I am once again thankful to Christy Whittlesey for tackling this nuanced and important topic with such care and grace. As a gender educator, I'll be recommending The Beginner's Guide to Being a Trans Ally far and wide. Christy Whittlesey's The Beginner's Guide to Being a Trans Ally provides an easy-to-access entry point into allyship for anyone who is ready to learn...read this book if you are an educator or a healthcare provider who is new to the conversation. This book unpacks gender diversity by centering the trans voices we hope to become allies for. Through reading these narratives we learn that becoming an ally is moving from ignorance or complicity to a continuum of continual action that affirms and celebrates our trans students, family members, friends, co-workers, and community members. This resource also serves as a user-friendly toolkit with clear techniques for more inclusive allyship. It is a must-read for educators and families alike.
