It Feels Good to Be Yourself

Being transgender is not just a medical transition; it’s discovering who you are, living your life authentically, loving yourself, and spreading that love towards other people, and accepting one another no matter the difference.
— Jazz Jennings

Some Things to Think About…

  • When meeting someone new, consider introducing yourself and then sharing your pronouns. This lets others know that they can share their pronouns too (if they want to).

  • Create a button, pin, or bracelet, indicating your pronouns.

  • Check out these stories about gender identity (author’s suggestion)
