Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Transgender, and Genderqueer |
Recently, issues related to gender identity and expression, transgender identity, and the emerging
identity of ‘genderqueer’ have received a great deal of attention in the lay and professional circles.
BVSSC has been deeply involved in these issues on a number of fronts, including co-sponsoring and
participating in trans-related events, co-sponsoring the development of a documentary, “Faces and Facets
of Transgender Experience,” and conducting a number of trainings related to gender identity/expression and
transgender/genderqueer identities.
We decided to have a dedicated page for these topics simply because there is so much material available
these days. Please enjoy surfing around the page, and please feel free to suggest additional material if you
wish.
Definitions – What is gender, what do the terms mean?
Items of interest – New items, newly discovered items, striking stuff
Readings, resources, and videos

Transgender 101 provides a wonderful introduction for anyone who is curious about transgender people and issues, including family and friends of transgender people. It’s also a perfect primer for graduate students in the fields of social work, psychology, counseling, and medicine, as well as students interested in gender and queer studies.
