The Parents and Loved Ones of Trans Children and Young People in Iceland \u2013 Trans Friends was founded this winter. As the name suggests, the association prioritises the interests of children and has been in contact with all municipalities to enquire about how education on LGBTQ+ issues is handled. The association can be contacted via transvinir@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The organisation would like to draw attention to the book 'The Trans Child: A Handbook for Families and Professionals', published by the University Press. As the Federation of Primary School Teachers funded the publication of the book, it will be available to read online on the FG website free of charge for primary school teachers, but others can purchase the book here: https:\/\/www.forlagid.is\/vara\/trans-barnid-handbok-fyrir-fjolskyldur-og-fagfolk\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Trans Child \u2013 A Handbook for Families and Professionals<\/h4>\n

Authors: Stephanie Brill, Rachel Pepper <\/em><\/p>\n

In recent years, more and more trans children have come forward in Iceland. They have often met with little understanding in society and even prejudice. Questions about gender expression and gender identity have been pressing for their parents and other family members. The book The trans child<\/em> based on the authors' many years of therapeutic work and interviews with trans children, children with non-typical gender expression, and their families. The book guides families and professionals through many of the fundamentals of the subject and on the journey that comes with having and raising a trans child or a child with non-conforming gender expression. It can be complex, sometimes difficult, but at the same time rewarding and educational. It tackles questions such as what gender identity is, what it's like to come out, what gender reassignment is, and, not least, how to deal with it all.<\/p>\n

The book is the first of its kind to be published in Icelandic. It was translated by teacher Trausti Steinsson, but a review group from the gender studies programme at the University of Iceland adapted and localised it for Icelandic circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
