In this workshop, we will cover
Failures of the Imagination
Trans bodies are often seen as "unimaginable". We will disucss why and how it impacts our work.
Ethical Curiosity
Curiosity is not always a virtue. It has a dark shadow that can creep into our practice as therapists.
Re-Centering Pleasure
Pleasure is the measure, and trans people have a complicated relationship with it. But it doesn't need to be that way.
Desirability Politics
There are reasons behind who is (and isn't) considered "attractive". We will discuss how this impacts trans and cis clients alike.

Specific examples of real world clients who have been treated with these guidelines on trans sex.

and more!
