Gender Questions: Working With Trans and Gender Expansive Youth
The landscape of gender development seems to change just as rapidly as our understanding of it. Today’s youth use the terms like trans and queer in a multitude of ways to describe their gender presentation and experience. Simultaneously, we live in a moment when political figures are legislating trans kids’ bodies with a new ferocity; claiming to know what these kids need. Join us as we invite queer child therapists, working with queer children to describe their needs and development in their own words; helping to illuminate the always shifting landscape of gender experience for all.
