If any of us suffer, we all suffer. All Black Lives Matter!
ABOUT ME
Shawn V Giammattei, PhD
I am a clinical psychologist, professor, researcher, author, and international speaker with a private practice in Northern California, specializing in helping trans couples, children, youth and their families live authentic lives. I am also the founder & director of the Gender Health Training Institute and a WPATH SOC7 Certified Member & GEI Mentor. I am dedicated to helping clinicians working with transgender/gender expansive clients and their families, build gender affirming practices, through personal and professional journeys that help them provide gender affirming care with confidence that they are on the right path.
“Clinicians will help transgender/gender expansive people and their families survive and thrive, not by focusing on their difficulties, but by recognizing the brilliance, creativity, and resilience in our bonds.”
– Shawn V. Giammattei, PhD

Whether you work with one trans person or many, this Glossary of Gender & Sexual Identity Terminology for Professionals will help you stay on top of their language, stay relevant, and improve your competency, which is absolutely necessary in your gender affirmative practice.
In service of helping all of us stay on top of terminology, I have made a commitment to keep an up-to-date glossary of terms available for providers (well as much as possible).
