The Experiment

review 1: This book is a must-read for anyone with gender-variant children as well as children who do not exhibit stereotypical heterosexual traits. Dr. Ehrensaft is a therapist who works in Oakland, California, helping parents understand, support, and accept their "gender-creative" children. Her examples are heartfelt and real, and show the range of parental reactions to gender-creative children. She describes the societal-induced suffering of children who are not supported by their parents, and shows how proper parental support can result in a child who is much more at peace with the world and their own gender identity or sexual orientation. The world needs more therapists like Dr. Ehrensaft!
review 2: Incredibly eye-opening. This is a book I've been waiting years... more to read, and found myself so relieved that someone finally wrote it! It's more about Transgender kids than it is about Cisgender gender-nonconforming kids, but much of the overarching themes and ideas of supporting children when their gender presentation may be something that some people will dislike, fear, and/or judge them poorly for apply to both. Everyone who works with kids, families, parents or knows any kids, families or parents should read this book. less
