What is the science behind the fundamental concept of "gender"? In what ways do our social constructs, upbringing and personal experiences influence the way we understand this concept? What are the underlying social and emotional issues that transgender students confront and how do we create safe and supportive schools for these students who are at extreme risk of bullying, mental health issues, addiction and/or suicidal ideation? How can school staff address their own deeply held views and need for information in order to better support students and their families that are coming from varying positions of understanding, acceptance and support of their child?
