Introduction to the Special Issue on Feminist Therapy with Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender Expansive People

Abstract

Transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive (TNBGE) people have been historically excluded from feminist approaches broadly, including in the realm of therapy. This special issue examines the utility of feminist therapy with TNBGE people, along with its potential and limitations. Contributors focus on specific issues affecting TNBGE people, such as migration and citizenship status, sexual well-being, trauma and violence, neurodiversity, and developmental context. Feminist approaches are explored using intersectional and strengths-based lenses in a diversity of clinical settings and across various aspects of the therapeutic process with TNBGE people.
