The Transpositions team talk to Jo Hirst, author of ‘The Gender Fairy’ and proud parent of a transgender child.

The Gender Fairy is a simple story about two children feeling the relief of being heard; two children who are taking their first joyful steps toward living as their true selves. It is an educational resource for both children and adults to understand what it might feel like to be a transgender child.

For children aged four and up, The Gender Fairy is designed to be read aloud in the classroom or at home. It includes notes for parents and teachers to aid discussion and learning, and was completed in collaboration with Roz Ward from La Trobe University.

In this podcast, the team discuss gender diverse kids, the Safe Schools Coalition, LGBT youth, and support for parents dealing with their child coming out.
