Classroom Psychology

I am a transgender woman, an Educational Psychologist, and a scientist published many times over in the field of gender diversity thanks almost entirely to some truly outstanding trainees and colleagues. On Classroom Psychology we take the questions asked by public figures, even those posed as confident declarations, and we look to the scientific literature to find answers. Join me, and together we"ll create a society where everyone can find a place to belong.

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

Episode 10: Gender Diversity and Neurodiversity

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/07/19

Is there a link between neurodiversity and gender diversity and if there is, what might explain that link? We take a look at this intersection and ponder whether neurodiverse communities might show some resistance to the gender norms to which we are all often pressured to conform.

Should schools automatically tell parents whenever a child or young person starts to question their gender?

Episode 8: Transgender folk and violent crime

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/06/21

'A grown man - a trans woman - entering a grown woman's space... is obviously wrong' This week we take a look at the question of whether transgender women put people at risk either by being a risk directly or by inclusive policies weakening the protection of single sex spaces. There's a content warning today: we talk about violent crime and sexual assault a lot this episode. References:

Episode 7: Detransition, 'desistance', regret.

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/06/07

This week our question is about whether children and young people experiencing gender dysphoria might experience that dysphoria to spontaneously resolve if they were left to grow without transition related support and services. We take a look at the early studies in the 80s, another wave in the early 2000s, and finally we take a look to the modern literature to find an answer together.

Episode 6: Gender Affirmative Practice

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/05/24

Some commentators highlight the complete lack of evidence of the outcomes of gender affirmative care, particularly long-term, so we take to the literature to find out what the science knows about the long-term outcomes from the various aspects of gender affirmative care. Turns out there is lots of evidence...who knew? References: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4m8fTy9t4yTVDr9zjumGcb4L8R3gGhmLhLxJ0Cf9TY/edit?usp=sharing

Episode 5: Transition in childhood

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/05/10

This week our question is about social transition in childhood and whether transition is the result of stronger cross-gender identification or whether it might contribute to stronger cross-gender identification. We take a look together at the work of amazing scientists like Selin Gülgöz and Kristina Olson and Cora turns her fangirling up to maximum.

This week we try to understand the apparent rise in adolescent non-binary and trans masc folks assigned female at birth referred to gender identity develpopment services across the western world. We look to the frequently proferred explanation of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria and see what the science has to say. As always, we describe all of our question askers with the greatest of generosity and aim to answer their questions fully, but I wouldn't recomment Abigail Shrier's book; if

Episode 3: Gender 'indoctrination'

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/04/14

Describing the limitations of the Equality Act (2010) then Attorney General Suella Braverman described schools as risking 'indoctrination' of children to a particular model of gender. We consider this for the question it represents and wonder about the scientific origins of the idea that we can teach children gender 'wrong' and whether the trans community indeed represents evidence of the same. If not, then maybe teaching children about gender might give gender diverse folks a

Classroom Psychology ·

2023/04/05

In answer to a question about 'what constitutes a woman' Kier Starmer recently said 'let me start by saying the blindingly obvious, 99.9 something percent of women it's all biological'. We take a look at the model of gender Kier's statement endorses and consider the implications; we think about different models of gender, talk aboout the language of gender and, of course, ponder how we can best endorse a model of gender in which everyone to find a place to belong.
