Description
[An earlier version of this paper was originally delivered as a presentation at the In the Family conference "Fostering Therapies of Resilience," San Francisco, CA, June 2001. At that time I was a member of the Ethics Committee of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (now the World Professional Association for Transgender Health), past-president of the San Francisco Chapter of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, a member of the International Foundation for Gender Education, FTM International, and TGSF (Transgender San Francisco), and had been, since 1989, a participant in Bay Area Gender Associates (BAGA), the longest-running therapists' peer consultation group in the world devoted exclusively to transgender identity issues. I thank my BAGA colleagues--Rebecca Auge, Ph.D.; Koen Baum, MFT; Lin Fraser, Ed.D.; Kim Hraca, MFT; Dan Karasic, M.D.; Luanna Rodgers, MFT; and Anne Vitale, Ph.D.--for their thoughtful readings of and responses to this paper in its penultimate draft.] What is gender? I believe it is becoming increasingly clear ... that ... gender is considerably less fixed than we have been led to believe and that one's sex has less to do with one's wholeness than one's individuation. So simple is this idea that I think it is easy to underestimate the momentous implications such a view has for civilization as we know it.... Ours is a culture in which the gender dichotomy has been made so central to the definition of what it means to be human that any change reverberates deeply and terrifyingly in the souls of even those who ardently wish for movement.
