My History, My Gender, Me

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Gender diversity isn’t a new thing!

People all throughout history have identified in ways we would now call trans, non-binary, or any number of other terms beyond “male' and “female'. From Marinos the Monk in the 5th Century, all the way through to Marsha P. Johnson and the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, this beautifully illustrated guide takes children on a journey through the history of gender-nonconforming people who changed the world.

Full of inspiring stories, reflection questions and activities, this book is an invitation to explore the rich history of trans and non-binary identities.

History is such a powerful tool to show longevity of the LGBT+ community. This book allows the reader to experience the rich history of the community, allowing them to see a place for themselves. A warm read, brilliant for everyone. Ben Pechey, LGBTQIA advocate and author of Your Gender Book and the Book of Non-Binary Joy
A vibrant tapestry of trans heroes woven through time.

My History, My Gender, Me is a celebration of those who dared to defy expectations and live authentically.

This book will ignite your imagination, open your heart, and empower you to be your true self. Fox Fisher - artist, author of Trans Pride, the Trans Survival Workbook, the Trans Teen Survival Guide, and Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?

Cassandra Jules Corrigan is a genderqueer and disabled writer based in Tennessee. They are the author of The Pronoun Book, The Gender Book, and My Culture, My Gender, Me.
