Episode 26: The Cass Review Part 2

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/05/22

'Puberty blockers are beneficial... but the quality of these studies is poor.' Dr Cass is wrong, and this misinterpretation has profound implications for the review and our interpretation of it. How is Dr Cass wrong? I'll put the kettle on! This is Classroom Psychology!References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 25: The Cass Review

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/04/17

The Cass Review was informed by systematic reviews that excluded the low quality evidence from synthesis. Is this a reasonable decision and what do the excluded studies tell us about psychological functioning after gender affirming hormones? Let's take a look in Classroom Psychology!References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 24: Language and Definitions

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/04/03

'Gender identity is the new religion they preach' You ever wondered how we might inclusively think of gender, what gender identity is, and what is means to be gender diverse? Definitions and language are hard, but we can find it tricky together in Classroom Psychology!References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 23: Eating Disorders

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/03/20

Gender diverse folk are at an increased risk of developing disordered patterns of eating and methods of weight control. There are discrete reasons for gender diverse folk being more likely to engage in these kinds of behaviours and understanding these reasons can open up new ways to help.

Episode 22: Social Transition

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/02/28

Gendere diverse folk can change the gender they perform to themselves and to the world, a shift in expression known as social transition. While affirmative care might support mental health, does social transition have similar effects? Let's find out together in Classroom Psychology.References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 21: Autogynephilia

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/02/14

Are trans folk so sexy that they can't resist transition? Autogynephilia is the theory that transgender folk invert the object of their sexual attraction inward, becoming that which they most admire... but does the theory have any merit?

Episode 20: Media Representation

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/01/17

Is representation a good thing? Is it possible that representation might influence attitudes towards marginalised communities and maybe, might better representation even improve viewing stats of shows and movies? We take a look together in Classroom Psychology. References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 19: Gender Euphoria

Classroom Psychology ·

2024/01/04

While there might be a focus on dysphoria and distress for gender diverse communities there is also an experience they know better than most, one of gender euphoria. We take a look at the positive end of gender diversity and ponder the question of what it is like to experience gender euphoria.

Episode 18: The Speed of Transition

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/12/20

Transition is sometimes seen as hasty, maybe hurried, but the research about the experiences of children and young people show transition to be anything but. Let's take a look together. References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 17: Harrassment, Bullying, Victimisation

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/12/06

When schools are more welcoming more gender diverse folks can live openly, but if schools aren't able to tackle the bullying and victimisation that goes on within, does this create a risk for those being authentically themselves therein. We take a look at harassment, bullying, and victimisation. Content warning: We talk about sexual harassment, bullying, and suicidality.

Episode 15: Public Policy

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/10/18

When politicians debate the existence of gender diverse communities that sets a problematic context for gender diverse folk to exist within. We take a look at how exclusionary discourse and policies can create problems for gender diverse folk and how inclusive policies and discourse can create a world where everyone can find a place to belong.

Episode 14: Misgendering and deadnaming

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/09/27

It can be hard to remember to use someone's name or pronouns but what if we misgender or deadname someone for philosophical, religious, or stigatising reasons, what might the effects be? And by using a chosen name and the correct pronouns can we create a world in which we can all find a world to belong?

Episode 13: Athletic advantage

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/08/31

Do transgender women retain an athletic advantage over their cisgender counterparts following transition and, maybe, does it matter? If the competetive line we draw is always arbitrary, maybe the question here is about the level of arbitrariness we're willing to accept. So... where do we draw the line?

Episode 12: Conversion Therapy

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/08/16

Why do we not 'treat' gender dysphoria as a 'mental health condition' and support people to change their gender identities to alleviate their suffering? We take a look at gender change efforts and the often severe consequences they yield for those subject to them.

Episode 11: Gender Diversity and Colonialism

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/08/03

It is often claimed that gender is only male and female, that this is a Universal truth. But that is a particular view of gender we have advanced around the world through colonialism; if it appears to be the truth that is only because we have oppressed alternative understandings so heavily. We take a look at pre-colonial cultural practices around the world to understand what gender diverse folk might share in their experience, and then we wonder how colonialism has marginalised and oppressed these
