What does it mean to be male? What does it mean to be female? In contemporary culture, such distinctions have increasingly been regarded as much too narrow to cover the entire spectrum of humanity. Over the past few decades, thousands of individuals have bravely declared their true identities and refused to be boxed into what society has dictated. It has become increasingly important, especially for those coming into adulthood, to go beyond the concepts of gay, lesbian, straight, and bisexual when examining gender.

In Gender Identity: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Cynthia L. Winfield encourages readers to reject the notion that male or female designations fit all. The author examines how gender lines have been crossed as a growing number of individuals--including young adults--have found the courage to express and celebrate their authentic selves. In this book, Winfield addresses:

Differences between biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expressionLegal protections for those outside the narrowly defined gender normsPublic debate and shifting views about gender identityWays readers can make society more cognizant and inclusive of gender-variant individuals
