Meet Polkadot

A nonbinary child introduces themselves to readers and explains that there aren’t only two genders, even though some people think so. Polkadot shares how tired they are of being asked to choose a gender—playing sports, going to the bathroom, and even choosing a toothbrush. Everyone is an expert on their own gender, and should be believed when they talk about it, Polkadot asserts. Not all grown-ups know this, but some are now catching up. Polkadot’s big sister and a friend show support. A sympathetic introduction to the topic, if a bit pedantic. Polkadot also asserts that they are transgender, like some of their friends, but this term is not explained.
