For me this is a particularly poignant point because psychology is my field. I this section I would like to discuss some of the psychological research about transsexuality and show how other areas of research in psychology can help us understand ourselves. This essay explores the ways psychological research has been influenced by the label of us as mentally ill. Transsexuals have an odd relationship with lots of different communities, cultures, and sub-culutures. I have very high hopes for a future where we can all understand and appreciate one another.
Every community has a lot to learn and a lot to share.
Our lives are filled with other feelings, thoughts, identities, and roles. And all those other aspects of ourselves help us decide how to interpret and live with our gender identities. That's probably one of the reasons we are so different from one another. Maybe we can be understood a bit more after reading about the larger context I, and other transsexuals, live in. I have taught recitations and tutored undergraduates as a teaching assistant.
