WPATH's all-new virtual Book Club! The book club's purpose is to provide its members with an insight into the lives of transgender and gender-diverse individuals from various regions of the world, as expressed through written works, digital media, artwork, and performances. Through experiencing these creations and discussing them with their creators, the club hopes to reveal the challenges and obstacles these individuals face, as well as the cultural, social, and political environment that influences their life choices and shapes their behavior. This understanding will enable care providers to approach their work without personal bias or prejudice, providing affirmative care that is free from judgment.
