Learning From our Transgender Youth

Authors: Kathleen R, Tusaie;

Learning From our Transgender Youth

Abstract

Gender is in themind, and sex is in the body. There is now a generally accepted recognition that gender exists on a continuum and does not always followbirth assignment across an individual's lifespan. The increased visibility of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, questioning (LGBTQ) culture in media and literature is evidence of this recognition. The story of an individual's emerging narrative of self and identity that does not match his or her body receives much attention in lay and professional literature (DSM5diagnosis of gender dysphoria) andmedia. There is also informal discussion around the need for a new phobia, transphobia, to become part of our language. In fact a newword, cisgender, has emerged. Cisgender initially was defined as the individual experience of feeling comfortablewith the gender assigned at birth, the opposite of transgender (Schelt &Westbrook, 2009). However, now the meaning has morphed to indicate the invalidation of an individual's own understanding of their own gender and bodies (Ansara & Hegarty, 2012). This type of thinking expands the concept of gender from a male/female dichotomy to more of a kaleidoscope as described by Spade and Valentine (2013).
