Gender identity activism in schools

moving beyond the gender binary

Beyond the Binary is handbook that helps guide community members, activists and youth to creating a more fluid perception of gender identity within schools. The primer begins with definitions, statistics, myth busting and basic information but also covers practical issues for activists. It includes sections about how to define a realistic timeline, as well as goals, of a campaign and get it off the ground. It even has a special section about how to organize a trans day of remembrance.
