helping transgender and gender non-conforming clients

10/24/2018

 
Joshua G. Parmenter offers us clinicians some useful advice for helping transgender and gender non-conforming clients (TGNC):

  1. “Validate and believe the client’s experience and reactions”, particularly when assessing for trauma
  2. “Develop self-advocacy skills as a way to build resiliency when combating discrimination and oppression”
  3. Target “rigid cognitive schemas about masculine ideals held within institutions, organizations, or even perpetrators of violence that favor cisgender masculinity”
  4. Become “social agents of change” because there are no non-discrimination laws “that provide universal protection for TGNC individuals in the United States”
  5. Create “positive and affirming environments, not only within organizations, but also within our legislation and government”
 
Thank you, Joshua, for these excellent action points
