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.
