Summary:

In addition to the common difficulties teens face, such as body changes and peer pressure, transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) youth experience unique challenges with identity and interpersonal relationships. This is the first book written for TGNC youth that incorporates skills, exercises, and activities from evidence-based therapies--such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)--to help these teens address the broad range of challenges they may encounter related to gender identity and expression at home, in school, and with peers.
