We are only beginning to understand gender. Is it inborn or learned? Can it be chosen--or even changed? Does it have to be one or the other? These questions may seem abstract--but for parents whose children live outside of gender norms, they are very real.

No two children who bend the rules of gender do so in quite the same way. Felicia threw away her frilly dresses at age three. Sam hid his interest in dolls and girl things until high school--when he finally confided his desire to become Sammi. And seven-year-old Maggie, who sports a boys' basketball uniform and a long blond braid, identifies as a boy in the front, and a girl in the back. But all gender-nonconforming children have one thing in common--they need support to thrive in a society that still subscribes to a binary system of gender.
