Keeping Up With Kids

Stanford University has come out with a free online course to help people learn about gender identity issues, particularly with regard to children.  Wow!  What a great resource!  It consists of several short videos made up of conversations with transgender kids and their parents, and some assignments.  It looks like the time commitment is pretty reasonable–a total of 3 hours, one hour each week.  I’m excited to check this out.

If you think you are maybe in too small of a town to need to know about this this, think again.  I have known two kids who identify as transgender, both from VERY small towns in rural Wisconsin. I hope you will consider taking the time to learn more about this complicated topic!
