Articles from WPATH conference

Though there are several things to report from the WPATH conference, I feel that the most helpful thing I can do is share links to free and open access research articles being discussed in our circles.

One researcher who has been involved in publishing several articles on transgender sexual satisfaction, embodiment, and pleasure was kind enough to publicly release a link to a list of articles she is a part of: paper sexuality – Google Drive for which I highly recommend all sex therapists to review.

Additionally, the following articles were cited in presentations I attended throughout the conference and for which I highly recommend other therapists and medical providers review if they haven’t already come across them:
