They draw on Miranda Fricker’s (2007) concepts of testimonial injustice to discuss how young TGE children are considered \"too young\" to have gender identities or to truly know themselves, and hermeneutical injustice to represent the challenges TGE children face in educational environments that do not provide them with linguistic or interpretive tools to help them fully understand and communicate about their gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWoven throughout the book are the lived experiences and counter-stories of TGE children and adults that privilege their voices and highlight their right to contribute equally to societal understandings of gender. The book also addresses their right to access all the tools a given society has available at the time to help them name and understand their own experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors provide discourse, conceptual frameworks, and concrete strategies educators can use to inspire resistant social imaginations (Medina, 2013) and actions that improve gender justice for our youngest children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRadically Listening to Transgender Children\u003c\/i\u003e encourages educators to reflect deeply and act thoughtfully in order to create inclusive, equitable learning environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471425945836,"sku":"9781498590396","price":80.15,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781498590396-radically-listening-to-transgender-children.jpg?v=1775242871","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/radically-listening-to-transgender-children-by-katie-steele-9781498590396","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
