Abstract

By the time we are born, we are classified as male or female. Doctors define our gender based on our genitals. From then on, adults treat us in a particular way according to our gender, they don't give us the option to choose. However, gender identity develops throughout life and it doesn't always match with the assigned sex. The early childhood education is very important in this process because this is when children begin to identify their gender. That's why parents' and teachers' attitudes are so important. Given that nowadays this is a rather unknown topic, in this work we will analyze the knowledge teachers has on gender and sex diversity. To do this we will use interviews and questionnaires done to teachers and an observation work in the classroom. Finally, due to the little knowledge on this topic in educational environments too, a list of resources will be offered to early childhood teachers and parents.
