So many possibilities!

People experience gender in so many ways. The Interactive Wheel lets you mix and match to explore the possibilities. The Guide for the Grown-ups in the back of the book gives more explanation and ideas about how to use The Interactive Wheel with kids.

The Identity Wheel includes just some of the many words we can use to describe ourselves—the list goes on and is constantly changing. There is also a blank space for your own words! Gender Spectrum offers more in-depth resources for understanding the dimensions of gender including a guide to some of these terms and and the language of gender.

“The power of language to shape our perceptions of other people is immense. Precise use of terms in regards to gender can have a significant impact on demystifying many of the misperceptions associated with gender. However, the vocabulary of gender continues to evolve and there is not universal agreement about the definitions of many terms. Nonetheless, here is some working language and examples of frequently used (and misused) terms. We offer them as a starting place for dialogue and understanding, which begins by clarifying how we are using various terms, rather than asserting that they represent the final or only definition of the various terms.”  – From Gender Spectrum’s Language of Gender
