Transgender Psychology

The psychology of transgender is a complex issue not studied enough yet. Due to the prejudice spread in the communities around the world, transgender people could not feel free and accepted for centuries. Probably millennia.

Today, we've taken a look at the interview with Walter Bockting, Ph.D., a professor of medical psychology who's been working with transgender families for over 25 years. This is the expert opinion.

"Transgender" refers to having a gender identity that differs from one's sex assigned at birth. Transgender people do take different approaches to get the emotional balance they require. Some go through legal interventions (be it surgery or hormone therapy), but others don't. Both ways are equally good as long as you choose the one that would bring you the most joy and stability. This topic requires an individual approach.

Transgender people do come out at different ages. There is no approved standard on this topic as well. Although these days young people do start to come out more and more often, it's also common to do that much later in life.

The key to a healthy gender exploration in a child, teen, or even later in your life is through research and education. Both the individual and their family should take time to educate themselves n different aspects of transgender people and how to help them.?

Transgender Person Challenges

One of the biggest challenges is the multitude of mental disparities documented among transgender people, primarily caused by the judgemental eye of the community, the legal system, and so on.

The doctor mentions the valuable help of psychologists experienced in the matter and the loving family in overcoming and preventing mental issues an individual may experience.

Thus, if you are a transgender person or you have one among your close people, you should be educated on the topic to know the right way to help such people or yourself. Please, stay focused on your mental health, and don't be afraid to ask for help in the most comfortable way for you.
