Transsexuality beyond the tabloids: Science and real life
Thu 12 Apr 2012, 7.30pm, Showroom Cafe/Bar, Paternoster Row S1 2BX
A Psychology in the Pub event. Transsexuality, more commonly called trans, is increasingly portrayed in the media in ways which perhaps do not reflect the reality of trans people's lives. Similarly, the treatment to change trans people's bodies so they are in line with their minds, and the science underlying this, is also commonly misunderstood. At this event, Christina Richards - senior specialist psychology associate at the largest NHS Gender Identity Clinic in the UK - will present the current science regarding trans people and will look at gender as it relates to everyone, trans or otherwise.Psychology in the Pub website
