A book has been published entitled Can I Tell You About Gender Diversity?, aiming to teach children as young as seven about gender diversity and transgender issues.
The book tells the story of Kit, who starts the gender transitioning process with hormone treatment at the age of 12.
Author of the controversial work, CJ Atkinson, appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the book with Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid. When asked if a book like this needs to be given to school children Atkinson explain it is important to open up how people talk about identity terms.
Atkinson said: “We are assuming that all seven year old kids are not transgender, there is still the opportunity for them to learn that there are some people in the world who feel like this.”
When asked about her own identity Atkinson identified herself as gender queer “existing between male and female.”
