GENDER IDENTITY AND

TRANSGENDERISM
Gender Identity and Transgenderismis a
3-hour online continuing education
(CE)course that reviews issues in the
formation of gender identity and the possible
resultant condition of transgenderism,
formerly transsexuality.
After viewing oneself as a human being, the
most important aspect of our self-concept is
that we are a male person or a female
person.

GENDER IDENTITY AND

TRANSGENDERISM
That is the very essence of our humanness and the most basic sense of
who we are. To experience a conflict between our physical body and our
concept of maleness or femaleness is the most fundamental existential
distress imaginable. This course will discuss the ongoing distinction
between sex and gender, causes and prevalence of transgenderism,
harassment of transgender children, DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, theories of
gender development, conversion therapy, modern medical and sociopsychological treatment of transgender patients, passing, and postsurgical
relationships and therapy.

GENDER IDENTITY AND

TRANSGENDERISM
Certain prominent transgenderists are
discussed, and several autobiographies
are referenced to further our
understanding of the complex
transgender life experiences. Finally,
some examples of positive changes are
presented, which increase the knowledge
base for the professionals who see
transgender patients in their practices,
along with other nascent societal
changes, which, in turn, can improve
these patients lives.
