All Mixed Up: Putting Gender Identity Into Perspective
This site presents issues related to gender identity from the persepective of a transsexual psychology graduate student. The site is introduced with the the following: "Academic perspectives on the psychology of transsexuality are represented by groups like the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA) and are codified in the mental illness model of the DSM-IV-TR as Gender Identity Disorder (GID) and Transvestic Fetishism (TF). This psychopathology treats transsexuality and cross-dressing as inherently bad things about us. They're not. Gender bending, gender queers, and transgenderism show society how uncomfortable it is trying to understanding gender and sexuality. Can sexologists refrain from placing value judgements upon those with gender dysphoria and instead refine the way we understand the psychology of gender, atypical gender development, and gender role socialization? I hope that by bringing a personal and non-judgemental scientific approach to understanding transgenderism, I can help transsexuals, cross-dressers, and psychopathologists grow and develop as people."

I browsed the web-site for about twenty minutes, I was looking at it for an
assignment in my Educational Psychology class. I think the information is very
clear and straight forward. It is a great site to understand what it really is
to be a transsexual. Putting this into perspective would definitely be useful in
education. Gender differences are often a great misconception, I think this
information would be very beneficial to learning and teaching..

A great site for understanding the emotional and mental differences that make
one a transsexual. The author organizes all the material so one can find what
they are looking for, and she explains everything very clearly. I read the
material for about an hour, exploring what it is to be a transsexual. This most
definitely could be used as an educational tool. The information can be applied
to sociology, and psychology. I did not give it the highest rating because the
information was only subjective.

I spent about 15 minutes brousing the material. The quality of the content I
felt was very high with concepts that were educationally significant. I feel it
is a good teaching and learning tool because it is broken down into categories
with good, interesting information following each category.
