I have been really enjoying the opportunity to support new-ish and more experienced clinicians become more transgender - affirming in their work. 

Today, I spoke at a Human Sexuality class at my alma matter, American School for Professional Psychology at Argosy University - San Francisco Bay Area. I loved sharing information about how to be an advocate for one's client. We spoke about identity and identity politics. I showed a video. We looked at pictorial displays of identities together.

Students asked questions that I answered. I provided resources on religion and culture, and letter - writing. 

I told silly jokes. They laughed. I laughed. We laughed. 

We covered some intense material and I felt good knowing that although I was 8 hours south of them in San Diego, that the message of supporting transgender clients could come through loud and clear. 

I really enjoyed the class and would love to have the opportunity to teach again. 

I provided an overview about some of the issues that I've dealt with as both a psychologist with clients of transgender experience, history, and identity and as a person who identifies as under the transgender umbrella myself.

I enjoy working with students who are new to working with transgender clients and addressing the concerns of more experienced clinicians on deeper, more nuanced ideas and clinical practice.

Warmly,
