In conversation with Justin Hancock
We were delighted to be invited by Justin Hancock to join his podcast Culture Sex Relationships to talk about the launch of our book Gender Affirming Therapy.
We talked about the need for this book right now. How trans and trans non-binary folk face such scarce resources and also an increasingly hostile and transphobic government. But also how the discourses around gender diversity may have produced an anxiety for health care providers in ‘getting it right’ and how this doesn’t serve clients or themselves.
