Transsexual and Transgenderist Experiences and Treatment Options

Kelly M. Ellis

When transgender individuals struggle with living as the other gender, their families also struggle. Often, however, these individuals, their families, and their counselors have difficulty finding information about the transgender experience to help them with their struggles. Because little professional literature exists on such experiences, this article provides information about treatment options for transsexuals, transgenderists, and those with gender dysphoria. It discusses the experiences of families and individuals during the discovery and treatment process, and it offers lists of resources helpful to transgender individuals and their families.
