Publisher's Synopsis

From Laverne Cox to Caitlyn Jenner to Thomas Beattie ("the pregnant man") to transgender youth, coverage of transgender lives has been exploding over the last few years. Despite being prolifically covered in the media, much misinformation about the trans community persists. Bringing together the medical, social, psychological, and political aspects of being transgender today in the United States. "You're in the Wrong Bathroom!": And 20 Other Myths about Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People unpacks the 21 most commons myths about transgender people. Authors Laura Erickson-Schroth, MD, a psychiatrist, and Laura A. Jacobs, LCSW-R, a writer and activist, address myths about trans identity ("trans people are 'trapped in the wrong body'"), sex and relationships ("most trans people do sex work and have HIV"), health and safety ("trans people are mentally ill and therapy can change them"), and history and community ("trans people and feminists don't get along").
