Transgender Well-Being articles

Below are the best articles we could find on Transgender Well-Being.

Our gender expression can be an important and valued part of our identity, touching on every aspect of our well-being, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or even financial. But social pressure and cultural messaging focused on our gender—and how well we can live up to or “perform” to those expectations—can have a great impact on our feelings of self-worth and can make us struggle with self-acceptance. This is extensively magnified for those of us who are transgender, as we have to fight to be recognized and validated by individuals and societal institutions, from our schools and workplaces to medical offices and courtrooms. While transgender individuals are part of every community across the globe, many of us must balance living openly and authentically with our physical and financial security. Every one of us has the right to live a vibrant life in our full identity, and our struggle for well-being can find support from those who understand and validate the complexities, nuance, pain, and joy of our community’s lived experiences.
