A much-needed guide to understanding gender, becoming a better trans ally, and making the world a better place

Gender is a human experience, not just a trans experience. Every single one of us has a relationship to gender, so how can we change the way we talk about it, challenge misconceptions, and become better allies?

Schuyler Bailar is the first transgender athlete to compete on the Harvard University Swim team. His difficult choice - to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being a national champion - was historic. HE/SHE/THEY will provide readers with essential trans and gender literacy through empowering and informative stories from his own experiences, and those of other trans and non-binary individuals around the world. This urgent, hopeful guide will cover everything from understanding what gender is and how to talk about it, to gender in the world and how to be a better ally.

HE/SHE/THEY will provide readers - no matter age or gender - with the language, education, and tools needed to help make the world a better, kinder, and safer place for all trans and gender diverse people. 2020 and 2021 saw record-breaking instances of anti-trans legislation worldwide - and the highest rates of anti-trans violence on record. HE/SHE/THEY will inspire much-needed positive change and encourage and enable personal reflection and exploration so that every human can be the most compassionate, most authentic version of themselves - and importantly, become better trans allies in the process.

Praise for He/She/They

This book is informative, fabulous to read, and leaves the reader with information, joy and proactive ways to get involved in what is one of the most important human rights conversations of our time. I love this book!

Jonathan Van Ness

This book is so necessary ... I know I speak for trans people everywhere when I say, no one is better suited to this than Schuyler. He is the master of accessible, inclusive and entertaining explainers

Freddy McConnell, author and journalist

He/She/They is a beautiful, embracing, and compassionate book for those wanting to explore their own, or another's gender identity

Jamie Windust, Author & Broadcaster, Contributing Editor at Gay Times

Through this heart-holding educational memoir, Schuyler Bailar swims through a sea of hate and misinformation - preaching love and learning. Schuyler's words seek to challenge power and connect to those who really need it. And that's what we need right fucking now

Radam Ridwan (@radamridwan), trans non-binary content creator, author of 'The Lockdown Lookbook'

Courageous and heartwarming, He/She/They sheds light on the journey of gender discovery and acceptance. A must-read for anyone seeking understanding, compassion, and hope on the path to self-discovery

Jazz Jennings, [she/her], activist, television personality, and author

Trans and gender-fluid teens will see themselves in Bailar's meaningful work, and cis teens will find essential information on being a good ally
