#234 Transgenderism through the lens of neuroscience 🗓
With Dr Steven Willing
Transgenderism describes an individual who identifies with a gender that does not correspond to their sex. Trans-affirming advocates may say that social and medical transitioning merely brings the body into line with the mind, but what if it goes the other way? What if the cart is pulling the horse, meaning gender affirmation changes the brain?
This webinar will cover four essential questions:
- What is neuroscience?
- What does it have to do with transgenderism?
- What does the research show?
- How should neuroscience inform our understanding of transgenderism?
