Brief answers to questions about Transgender Individuals and Gender Identity are provided on the APA site. http://www.apa.org/topics/transgender.html A good overview of the topic is provided by the APA Task Force on Gender Identity and Gender Variance.http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbc/transgender/2008TaskForceReport.pdf It also might be a good idea to get some familiarity with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care (WPATH SOC)http://wpath.org/Documents2/socv6.pdf |
