Exploring Gender Identity and Mental Health in Transgender Individuals
This chapter delves into the complexities of expressing gender identity, the importance of parental acceptance, and the various forms of gender affirmation for transgender kids. It addresses the significance of understanding co-occurring conditions alongside gender dysphoria and how therapy plays a role in supporting mental health without attempting to change one's gender identity. The discussion also highlights the challenges of applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in marginalized communities and individuals facing discrimination or violence for being transgender.
