SHE’S MY DAD!

My Dad's name is Haley. She used to be a he but now she is a she! Last year she did this thing called transition. She grew her hair long, painted her nails in bright colours and started wearing different clothes.'

When Mini's cousin accidentally misgenders her dad Haley, Mini explains why misgendering is hurtful and why we need to treat trans people with respect. Mini speaks with confidence about transitioning and gender identity, and helps to educate and empower others with trans relatives or friends.

This brightly illustrated book for children aged 3 - 7 will aid discussion with children about a loved one transitioning or about trans people in general. Featuring a child with a dad who has transitioned, this book passes on an important message about acceptance and respect, and covers pronouns, dysphoria, family diversity and misgendering.

transfabel meint: Eine schöne, einfach Geschichte aus der perspektive des 6-jährigen Kindes Mini. Minis Dad (die es weiterhin mag, Dad genannt zu werden) hat transitioniert. Mini erzählt, eingebettet in eine Geschichte aus den Alltag, wie das für Mini war und von der Namens- und Pronomensänderung. Und Mini (Pronomen they) ist geschlechtsuneindeutig dargestellt. Passend dazu gibt es das Buch He's My Mom.
