"We live in a post-binary world where gender fluency, awareness and acceptance of how people identify is essential. Ashley Mardell, a trusted voice on YouTube, looks at all things LGBT+. Mardell's book, filled with in-depth definitions and personal anecdotes, is proof it does get better every day in a world where people are empowered by information and understanding. As Mardell says, "Learning about new identities broadens our understanding of humanity, heightens our empathy, and allows us different, valuable perspectives." Whether you are a questioning teen, a teacher or a parent looking for advice or anyone wanting to learn the language of respect, this book is an essential guide for you." -- Publisher.
