Gender Diverse Parenting: A Raising My Boychick Collection

Arwyn Daemyir, parent and gender advocate, eloquently and persuasively presents both the whys and hows of parenting with gender diversity in this collection of highly praised essays. Improving upon the limitations of yesteryear's "gender neutral parenting", Gender Diverse Parenting widens what is available to both us and our children as we navigate the broad spectrum of gender together as families. Rather than trying to coerce our children into uniform unisex genders, or eliminate gender altogether, Arwyn points to a world with freedom and diversity around gender. In creating this freedom, we create families where children who may reveal themselves to be lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender don't have to worry about rejection or disappointment, but are secure and confident in themselves, their gender, and their sexuality. Includes an essay on the cultural fascination with transgender children from activist, author, and theorist Dr Emily McAvan. Arwyn Daemyir earned international notoriety and frequent acclaim with her blog Raising My Boychick, which chronicled her life and thoughts around gender, parenting, and kyriarchy from 2009-2012.
