Gender Creative Kids

The Gender Creative Kids website, provides resources for supporting and affirming gender creative kids within their families, schools and communities.

By offering information and opportunities for connection between parents and caregivers, educators, health and social service providers, researchers, activists, and children and youth across Canada, we hope to contribute towards transforming our world into a safe, affirming, and joyful place for all children.

Background on Gender Creative Kids

• Gender creative kids are kids who identify and express their gender in ways that differ from what others may
• expect.
  Gender creative kids are also sometimes referred to as gender nonconforming, gender variant, gender independent, transgender, and in the case of Aboriginal children, two-spirited.
  
• Sometimes gender creative kids grow up to identify with the spectrum of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two spirited (LGBTQ2) communities… and sometimes they don’t.
  
• Gender diversity is healthy and gender creative kids deserve to be supported and affirmed in their families, schools and communities.

For parents and caregivers

Develop your own support network with our easy to use tools.  Find people just like you with similar journeys who are within your community. Maybe you are looking for a heart-to-heart, a “spill it all” out talk or a laugh-out-loud conversation with other parents or caregivers who also have a gender creative child just like yours. Maybe you would like to have your child meet other children who have similar interests and just want to get together to play.
