A new puberty guide from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) aimed at 9-12 year old’s instructs youth about girls getting erections while normalizing “transgender” and “non-binary” characters in order to promote inclusivity.
In an interview with NPR on Saturday, Dr. Kathryn Lowe, one of three co-authors of a new puberty guide for pre-teens said they wrote the book because of the “need for all kids to understand about periods and erections, so we all understand each other’s bodies” as well as fill the needs of children “who don’t fit into a gender binary.”

“With this book, we’re trying to change that language to be more inclusive,” Lowe said. “With traditional puberty education, whether it’s in schools or in books, we talk about how girls get their periods and boys get erections. But some girls — for example, transgender girls — might not get their periods. They need to understand about erections and those changes in their bodies.”
“So we wanted to fill this void in puberty education so that kids, regardless of their gender, can see themselves in a book and learn about their bodies,” she added.
The new 150-page guide, titled “You-ology: A Puberty Guide for Everybody,” was published last week by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). It aims to assure kids that “there’s a wide range to what is normal,” help them navigate feelings, and understand their anatomies as well as the changes of puberty.
