Abstract
For nonbinary young people, school is often a hostile environment. However, as educators, we can support and affirm diverse gender identities in the classroom, validating students who identify outside the binary and fostering their classmates’ empathy and understanding. A key component of culturally relevant pedagogy is literary representation. By offering books featuring authentic, humanizing depictions of nonbinary characters, we can provide not only mirrors and windows for our students but also telescopes by which something far away—a world free of cisnormative gender prejudice—seems closer and more achievable.
