Abstract

This interview addresses two questions as we talk as a therapeutic community about how to best support our resources, our training efforts, our time, our energy into advocating for the trans community. 

The first question is " What is currently happening nationwide in current states?" In this interview, we have folks from Texas, Florida, and New Hampshire, states that have already had legislations who have passed anti-trans forms of legislation in their states. 

And then the second question will be, "How do we as a therapeutic community then come together to effectively support and advocate for trans folks in the face of the anti-trans legislation, violence, transphobia that's happening on statewide and on national wide levels.
