Gender Diversity in PK-12 Settings
Transgender students exist in every school district, county, city and town in the United States. Recent school surveys and other research tells us that 3% of students identify as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth.

-
Engage parents & caregivers in discussion about their child’s gender diversity.
