Nealy, a therapist, professor of social work and equitable community practice, and transgender man, explains the knowledge and skills mental health professionals, schools, and families need to support and understand transgender kids and teens in transition. He discusses the foundations for understanding transgender youth, including core concepts and ideas like sex, gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation, then addresses gender variance and diversity among children and adolescents, understanding their gender diversity and dysphoria in the context of today's culture, the challenges of disclosing transgender identity for youth and their families and the steps involved with social transition, aspects of medical transition, and the emergence of transgender identity in adolescents. He follows with discussion of dynamics affecting parents and caregivers, working with families, issues in schools, more advanced clinical interventions with trans adolescents, and questions that can arise as transgender youth move into the world of work or college, as well as the roles and responsibilities of mental health providers and life-affirming practices for adults in the lives of trans kids.
