NEW!

Course Description

WPATH is excited to present this new Advanced Workshop in Identity Evolution. The Advanced Identity Evolution Workshop will only be presented live on Friday, December 10, 2021, from 11:00am - 2:00pm ET.

What to Expect: Transgender/gender diverse (T/GD) healthcare has largely focused on transitioning from one binary to another and has included non-binary identities in more recent years. However, evolving changes in gender identities aside from these more familiar paths have received little attention. WPATH has seen postings on the Member listserv and discussion forum where clinicians are beginning to discuss instances of patients/clients who are “de-transitioning.” WPATH GEI offers this first-ever program on Identity Evolution to enhance care for people who may take steps to de-transition, pause, or resume a gender transition, re-transition and/or take steps to affirm another identity. This program will involve a panel of mental health and medical professionals discussing sample cases and the issues involved. Additionally, ethical considerations and principles will be offered, and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists.
