# GenderCool Experience Portal | The GenderCool Project

> A first-of-its-kind interactive experience — learn directly from GenderCool Champions and their families.

## About the Experience Portal

The 2026 GenderCool Experience Portal is an interactive, self-paced learning journey designed to help people of all backgrounds learn about transgender and nonbinary youth — directly from the young people living these stories.

Rather than reading about trans youth, the Experience Portal lets you hear from Champions themselves. Each chapter brings you into the lives, perspectives, and insights of GenderCool's 16 exceptional young ambassadors.

## What's Inside

The Experience Portal is organized into chapters (lessons) that explore key themes:

- **Who GenderCool Champions are** — Their identities, passions, and lives beyond their gender identity
- **What it means to be trans or nonbinary** — Authentic first-person stories from Champions and their families
- **How to be a better ally** — Practical, Champion-led guidance for friends, family members, educators, and colleagues
- **The impact of visibility** — How Champions' stories are changing culture, policy, and hearts

## How It Works

- Work through chapters at your own pace using the navigation sidebar
- Track your progress with a built-in progress bar
- Complete all chapters to reach the "You did it!" milestone
- After completing, you're invited to Get Involved or Donate to sustain GenderCool's mission

## Who It's For

The Experience Portal is designed for anyone who wants to learn — with empathy and nuance — about the lives of transgender and nonbinary young people:

- **Allies** seeking to deepen their understanding
- **Educators** looking for classroom-ready resources
- **Corporate teams** building more inclusive workplaces
- **Parents and families** supporting a trans or nonbinary child
- **General audiences** curious about trans youth experiences
