Carlozzi and Choate have brought together a diverse group of contributors who provide compelling narratives, research, and basic information for counselors, educators, the transgender community, and their families. My students are preservice and in-service teachers, school administrators, and students in LGBTQ studies. This volume has expanded my own knowledge base and will help my students provide safe and effective learning environments, not just for students who are gender expansive, but for all of their students and families. -Judith Kaufman, PhD, professor of human development and director of the doctoral program in learning and teaching at Hofstra University
