Sessions 2 & 16: Unmasking Transgender Experience: A Family-Based, Research-Informed Model
Even though the number of transgender persons within the population is very small, efforts have been in place to encourage people to perceive trans individuals and those who support them as a threat or as non-existent. These perceptions are neither connected to reality nor supported by peer-reviewed research. This program is intended to educate the participants by focusing on children and families, providing an understanding of the development and experience of transgender and gender diverse children in the context of their individuality and well-being, their families, and society. Working from a family-based and research-informed model, we will address the impact of child custody decisions on children who do not fit a binary definition of gender. These decisions encompass access to supportive healthcare and services in several of the states, creating new challenges to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA).
