Transforming Practice is an exploration of life satisfaction,
health and wellness among transgender men, as told in their own
words. While many focus on what is wrong with trans people,
trans-ally Marcus Greatheart asked satisfied, post-transition trans
men what worked well in order that health providers might better
support those questioning or struggling with gender transition.
Grounded in a strengths-based model, he explores the contexts and
implications of both social and medical transition in the lives of
trans guys from the US and Canada. They discuss how peers and
service providers alike perpetuate a "negative transition story"
that falsely assumes all trans men struggle with mental health
problems, life-long gender dysphoria, and endure endless healthcare
waitlists to conform with normative gender standards to eventually
become heterosexual. Despite these challenges the men describe
having positive, even enjoyable, transition experiences while
demonstrating resilience and self-efficacy. Coping strategies and
impacts on mental health and substance use are discussed, as well
as implications for mental health practice. Greatheart also
proposes a new assessment tool for health providers to assist trans
clients unpack and process potential transgender-related stress and
trauma.
