Welcome to this page! This is where I'm posting the Gender History Assessment Tool that goes with my presentation at the New Jersey Counseling Association Trans 101 Workshop. I was unable to attach the PowerPoint presentation, but if you'd like it, email me at Jen@JenWhitlock.com.
Also contact me at Jen@JenWhitlock.com if you'd like to consult with me about transgender issues. Mention the NJCA conference and you get a 15-minute phone consult for free!

As professional guidelines and laws evolve to protect freedom of gender expression, and media present more positive images of gender variance, more people are coming out as transgender, and at increasingly young ages. Unfortunately, not all professionals are aware of the updated guidelines, and some still use methods that which were once mainstream and are now considered to be unethical, harmful or even illegal. This workshop will reveal what a professional new to transgender issues needs to know about understanding what it means to be transgender, cultivating respectful dialogue, and determining readiness for transition.
