KK, Age 10
This video provides insight from one 10-year-old child regarding the truth about gender. In this video KK shares about the various truths she is being taught about gender across home and school. KK expresses how these different versions of truths about gender make her feel. In addition, resources and links to our website and blog, Raising Unicorns.
As you view this video and the Raising Unicorns website, including Talks with Tatsuko, I hope you keep an open heart and mind. I wish that all people feel inspired to be themselves and support others in being themselves. We (my mom and I) created the Raising Unicorns website to help gender expansive people know they can be themselves, and to educate people who are not gender expansive about the experiences of gender expansive people. We created Talks with Tatsuko to inspire kids to be whomever they are, and to teach other kids (and maybe adults too!) about gender expansive people, in a fun way, using puppets.
To all gender expansive people: Do not let others bring you down and make you feel small. You are amazing just the way you are.
To non-gender expansive people: Be kind to people no matter who they are, how they identify, or how they express their gender.
