This comprehensive first of its kind guidebook explores the unique
challenges that thousands of families face every day raising their
children in every city and state. Through extensive research and
interviews, as well as years of experience working in the field,
the authors cover gender variance from birth through college. What
do you do when your toddler daughter's first sentence is that she's
a boy? What will happen when your preschool son insists on wearing
a dress to school? Is this ever just a phase? How can you explain
this to your neighbors and family? How can parents advocate for
their children in elementary schools? What are the current laws on
the rights of transgender children? What do doctors specializing in
gender variant children recommend? What do the therapists say? What
advice do other families who have trans kids have? What about
hormone blockers and surgery? What issues should your college-bound
trans child be thinking about when selecting a school? How can I
best raise my gender variant or transgender child with love and
compassion, even when I barely understand the issues ahead of us?
And what is gender, anyway? These questions and more are answered
in this book offering a deeper understanding of gender variant and
transgender children and teens.
Transitions of the Heart is the first collection to ever invite
mothers of transgender and gender variant children of all ages to
tell their own stories about their child's gender transition. Often
"transitioning" socially and emotionally alongside their child but
rarely given a voice in the experience, mothers hold the key to
familial and societal understanding of gender difference. Sharing
stories of love, struggle, and acceptance, this collection of
mother's voices, representing a diversity of backgrounds and sexual
orientations, affirms the experience of those who have raised and
are currently raising transgender and gender variant children
between the ages of 5-50. Edited by Rachel Pepper, a gender
specialist and co-author of the acclaimed book The Transgender
Child, Transitions of the Heart will prove an invaluable resource
for parents coming to terms with a child's gender variance or
transition.
In 2000, the NSW Bar Association established an annual lecture in
honour of Sir Maurice Byers Kt CBE QC, Commonwealth
Solicitor-General 1973-1983; this volume contains the first 12
lectures, 2000-2012. Each lecture is introduced by Justices Nye
Perram and Rachel Pepper who discuss the background to the lecture
and developments which have taken place since it was delivered. In
addition, there is a short collection of thoughts by Sir Maurice
himself together with some further pieces.
This is a revised edition of the seminal Australian textbook
dealing exclusively with discrimination law and its practical
application. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the rapid
development of discrimination law and practice since 1998, this
second edition features expanded coverage, especially of the vital
areas of discrimination definitions, sexual harassment,
vilification and racial hatred, and the mechanisms for enforcing
federal discrimination laws. A new chapter examines the remedies
obtained by those who pursue claims through the courts and the
range and type of orders usually made. The book is suitable for all
those whose work or interest brings them into contact with
discrimination law: lawyers, business people, human resources and
industrial relations staff, advocates, and students.
