Gender affirming care is a big term, but at its heart, it’s about helping people feel like their true selves.

This book breaks down what gender affirming care is (and what it isn’t) in a way that’s clear, kind, and accessible for kids and their grownups.

Through thoughtful explanations and real-world examples, A Kids Book About Gender Affirming Care explores what it means to be transgender and/or queer, what transitioning can look like, and why access to supportive care is so important. Written by queer kids’ entertainer and activist Lindz Amer, this book helps kids and families understand that gender affirming care is about love, respect, and helping people be who they truly are.

Whether you're a kid who’s curious about gender, a parent wanting to support their child, or a teacher looking for the right words, this book is a powerful tool for fostering understanding and kindness.
