Gender Therapist

A gender therapist is a therapist that specializes in the topic of gender. Some people may be required to see a gender therapist prior to undergoing medical transition. This requirement is often seen as deeply frustrating and unnecessary to transgender people that are confident in their gender identities. Some transgender people are able to avoid seeing a gender therapist via informed consent treatment.

Transgender children are typically required to see a gender therapist to confirm that they are transgender. This is often coupled with puberty blockers.
