How do the questions we ask youth about their gender reflect assumptions that can perpetuate harm and reproduce transphobia?

The way we ask about gender matters. We all want to be acknowledged for who we are – to be respected, and to be referred to accurately and appropriately. In order to respect all youth, we must ensure that the way we ask about gender reflects the diversity of our lived realities. In doing so, we must interrogate and challenge how we understand gender and how we engage with gender in our youth work.
