To address this gap, this paper is the product of joint authorship between media figures from varied sexually-focused programming fields and academics who teach and conduct research in the areas o…

Reflections on Becoming Feminist Therapists
A dearth of literature on feminist clinical mentorship exists. Seldom is one afforded the opportunity to trace one's developmental roots as a feminist, reflect on the process of becoming a feminist-informed clinician, and to express gratitude and appreciation for those feminists who acted as mentors and/or influenced one's development as a feminist clinician. In this piece we discuss our experiences of feminist clinical mentoring and honor our fe…

Valuing the Gender-Variant Therapist
Moderate amounts of literature exist regarding the experiences and perspective of the male clinician in practice with clients. However, there is a dearth of literature on experiences of female-to-male transsexual clinicians, or gender-variant therapists in general. In a world in which gender roles are becoming more fluid, yet the gender stereotypes more rigid, more clients are challenging dominant societal constructs and tackling gender issues. I…
