Gr 9 Up—"Much of how we think about sexuality and gender has more to do with culture than with biology." Whether one is or isn't a member of the LGBTQ community, this commendable resource offers personal anecdotes, historical and current events, and informational sidebars accompanied by relevant, recent photographs to explore the issues facing LGBTQ youth. Gender identity, political advocacy, marriage equality, and self-acceptance are just some topics, each with a perspective extending far beyond U.S. borders. However, Being Transgender does include a few uses of the word transvestite, which is an outdated and potentially problematic term. Each chapter concludes with text-related questions and ideas for independent research. The further resources section limits its scope to online resources.
