Growing up in British schools, there is a lack of LBTQ+ representation in the classroom - but one author is trying to provide representation for young kids on the path to discovering their identity.
Harry Woodgate remembers being called 'gay' or 'trans' at school were "used as insults", mainly due to the lack of awareness and discussion available.
"That’s not to say those stories didn’t exist," they said. "But unless you already knew what you were looking for, they weren’t readily available, and so I grew up with very few positive or value-neutral reference points for understanding what it meant to be LGBTQ+."
