Beyond male and female : the gender identity spectrum / by Walker, Anita R.,author.(CARDINAL)826961; Tindall, Justin,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)823787;
Beyond Stereotypes -- Gender fluidity -- Words matter -- It's not new -- An ongoing conversation.Gender identity helps define who each of us is, but it's also complicated--especially for those who do not identify as male or female but as something more fluid. Beyond Male and Female: The Gender Identity Spectrum carefully explains terminology, the reality of living beyond traditional genders, and the real-life experiences of genderqueer people. Finding one's true self and living that truth openly are not always easy. But with the right tools, the path is easier. Understanding traditional male and female stereotypes helps genderqueer students and their allies to advocate and educate people about gender identities that are neither male nor female but infinitely more complex and beautiful. There's nothing new about people with gender fluid identities--history is full of examples. Today, however, people with non-binary genders are increasingly able to live openly and honestly as their true selves. This book points the way.

Latin American and Europe -- Middle East and Africa -- Asia and Oceania -- International LGBTQ issues -- International relations.With a world population of 7.5 billion, it's likely that there are hundreds of millions of LGBTQ people, many of whom live in places that are hostile to sexual and gender minorities. With 72 countries in which homosexuality is still illegal and 27 countries that now allow same-sex marriage, the range of conditions for LGBTQ people is wide. This book shows you the great global diversity within what we call the LGBTQ community. The culture of each society shapes how it interacts with LGBTQ people and how sexual and gender minorities see themselves. Inside, you'll find a breakdown of each region of the world--Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania--and how each region's history and culture shape its LGBTQ communities. You'll find out the state of LGBTQ rights in that region and where things are headed. In addition, you'll learn about issues that affect LGBTQ people across borders and the organizations that are working to solve those issues.

LGBTQ at work : your personal and working life / by Albright-Jenkins, Melissa,author.(CARDINAL)827052; Tindall, Justin,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)823787;
Coming out in the workplace -- How to navigate social media and work -- Benefits for your partner -- Discrimination in the workplace -- Loving where you work.Living as an LGBTQ individual can be complicated, especially at work. You have rights, but you are not always protected when it comes to the workplace. While same-sex couples can get married in all states, there are no federal laws that protect LGBTQ individuals from discrimination in the workplace. Fewer than half of the states have laws that protect LGBTQ workers, and several have laws that specifically prohibit this type of protection. Coming out at work is a personal choice but one that can have serious consequences in the wrong environment. Laws will continue to improve for LGBTQ individuals over time, but in the meantime, it's important to keep standing up for who you are, no matter what. LGBTQ at Work: Your Personal and Working Life provides the tools and knowledge to make your own informed decisions.12+.
