Transgender Resource Page
This site provides resources and additional information from my training on Gender Variant and Transgender Identities.
I recommend that you take a look at any of the films, books or website resources listed below.
Brief answers to questions about Transgender Individuals and Gender Identity are provided on the American Psychological Association site. http://www.apa.org/topics/sexuality/transgender.aspx
A good overview of the topic is provided by the APA Task Force on Gender Identity and Gender Variance.http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/policy/gender-identity-report.pdf
It also might be interesting to read the World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care (WPATH SOC) http://wpath.org/Documents2/socv6.pdf
