Transgender Studies

Adversity is one of the many struggles that a transgender person has to face on a day to day basis. Transgender people address the fact that just because someone is open to talking about things, they still have a very hard time discussing transgender issues. West. A Lanto talks about developing a instrument that makes it easier for a mental health clinician, or clinical trainee’s ability to be able to identify when using helpful or unhelpful responses when talking to transgender clients. When most transgender people are in need, most of them are face with hostility, and inadequate care from there health providers, even psychologists. Merandi Gabrielle discusses the cultural expectations and what it is like to live in a world where every community does not fully understand what it is like to be transgender and how that effects transgender youth. The struggle of transgender people on college campuses is more than your average college students. Many Universities are criticized for not conforming to cultural expectations of how gender is experienced and portrayed in today's culture. I also support what Baral and colleagues stance on transgender women receiving Better HIV surveillance, research, and interventions, and for structural changes to increase social inclusion.
