Extremely gender variant children and adolescents (minors),
increasingly referred to as 'trans' or 'transgender children,' are
small in number. In recent years, their situation has become highly
sensationalized, whilst the matter of how to best treat them
remains an area of controversy. A growing body of research supports
emerging treatment approaches, but more research is still needed to
answer a host of questions: Do trans minors have a psychiatric
disorder or a normal variation of gender presentation? Should
treatment be aimed at helping them accept the bodies into which
they were born or should parents, clinicians and schools
accommodate their wishes of transition? At what age should
transition begin? What are the implications - physical,
psychological, social and ethical - of various treatment
approaches? The first part of this volume explores different
clinical approaches to transgender minors in the USA and abroad.
The second part contains responses to these approaches by
commentators from various fields including biology, child
psychiatry, civil rights activism, ethics, law, gender studies,
queer theory and psychoanalysis. The work will be an invaluable
source for parents and families looking at how to proceed with a
trans child, as well as clinicians seeking to make appropriate
referrals. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Homosexuality.
