NEED HELP, Gender warrior friends!
Hey folks, if you know what "Harry Benjamin Standards of Care (HBSOC)" means, I need your help. I'm writing a paper that's due wednesday morning (yikes!) about the SOC and and it's discontents. PLEASE PLEASE answer a few questions or give a sentence or two about anything SOC related, I can really use the quotes. It's an academic paper for social work school and will only be read by my professor. Also, please post this in your journal if you have friends that can help.
1) Do you have criticisms about the HBSOC? Is there anything worthwhile about them? Is unregulated access to hormonal or surgical treatment a good alternative, or would you suggest something else?
2) Did you personally experience SOC requirements and how did they affect your transition?
3) What do these words mean to you >> transsexual, transgender, genderqueer? Do you use one of these to describe yourself? If not, what words do you use for your gender identity?
4) How do you describe gender? as a continuum, a sphere, a bianary, a pyramid, a process, something else?
Bless all your hearts, thank you. I need responses, you don't have to identify as trans/genderqueer to reply.
