Who We Are

We are parents. We are leaders. We are exceptional kids driving real change.

Our Story

GenderCool was inspired by the powerful, positive experience of one family. Jen and John are parents of four, including their daughter Chazzie, who proudly identifies as transgender.

In 2017, their search for positive stories about transgender and nonbinary kids turned up nearly empty, while a tidal wave of misleading, sensational content was easy to find. Something had to be done.

Jen Grosshandler joined forces with friend and mentor Gearah Goldstein, an expert on diversity and inclusion, wife, parent, and proud transgender person. Together, with five extraordinary young people and their families, GenderCool was born. Today, it's a worldwide movement.
