This book is for early childhood educators committed to learning
about gender [in]justice as a foundation for creating gender
affirming early learning environments for all children including
those who are transgender and gender expansive (TGE). The authors
engage in progressive and contemporary thinking about gender
acknowledging its complexity, intersectionality, diversity and
dynamism. They draw on Miranda Fricker’s (2007) concepts of
testimonial injustice to discuss how young TGE children are
considered “too young” to have gender identities or to truly
know themselves and hermeneutical injustice to represent the
challenges TGE children face in educational environments that do
not provide them with linguistic or interpretive tools to help them
fully understand and communicate about their gender. Woven
throughout the book are the lived experiences and counter-stories
of TGE children and adults that privilege their voices and
highlight their right to contribute equally to societal
understandings of gender and to access all the tools a given
society has available at the time to help them name and understand
their own experiences.The authors provide discourse, conceptual
frameworks and concrete strategies educators can use to inspire
resistant social imaginations (Medina, 2013) and actions that
improve gender justice for our youngest children.
