It is estimated that 1 in 10 people are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). That means that there are millions of kids out there who need to know that it’s okay to be who they are.
Pride is about celebrating who you are, and it’s important to teach kids about Pride so that they can feel comfortable and confident in themselves.
It’s also important to talk about gender fluidity. Gender fluidity is when someone’s gender identity doesn’t fit into the traditional categories of “male” and “female.”
People who are gender fluid may feel like they’re a mix of both genders, or that their gender changes.
Kids should know this so that if they or somebody in their circle experience it, they know they are loved and have people to turn to for answers.
Teaching kids about Pride and gender fluidity can help them feel more comfortable in their own skin, and it can also help to create a more tolerant world for everyone.
