Location: NASW-IN Office, 1100 W. 42nd Street, Suite 220, Indianapolis, IN 46208 Refreshments and Lunch included
Content: Transgenderism is a blanket term used to describe persons who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth. This workshop will cover a wide range of issues related to the care and support of individuals who are transgendered. Included will be a look at the inadequacies of the two-and-only-two-sex/two-gender paradigm, a general discussion of the phenomenon of transgenderism, the DSM and its inclusion of transgenderism as a mental disorder, and issues specific to providing counseling and therapy to transgendered persons and the important people in their lives.
Objectives: After attending this workshop, participants should be able to:
1. Define transgenderism and identify the ways in which it can manifest
2. Explain the DSM diagnosis of gender identity disorder and discuss relevant issues surrounding it
3. Explain how the assumed sex/gender dichotomy adequately fails to describe that part of human experience referred to collectively as sex and gender
Presenters: Kand S. McQueen, Ph.D. Kand holds a Ph.D. from Indiana University in Inquiry Methodology and is currently an Associate Instructor at Indiana University’s School of Education. Kand’s research interests include assessing attitudes toward the atypically gendered; and deconstructing the two-and-only-two sex/two gender paradigm. Kand has conducted presentations concerning gender identity and transgenderism at conferences and universities nationwide.
