Description from YouTube

Shelley Bridgman presenting:

Gender, gender identity, transsexuality, transgender (as verb and noun), sexual orientation. We get so hung up on descriptors that we are in danger of missing the person and who the person is.

Do people feel they are required to find a box that fits them or do they they should fit themselves into it.

Perhaps gender identity should be a joyful exploration of a gender spectrum. What if everyone could find a place that they feel comfortable with and be able to see whats best for them before seeking medical intervention?

How can the role of psychotherapy can be a vital aid in helping people find a place that's right for them.
