A now substantial body of research has consistently found that transgender people experience poorer mental health when compared to the general population. The context of cisgenderism, it has been suggested, provides an explanation as to why this is the case. This seminar presents a model that accounts for the impact of cisgenderism upon transgender people in terms of mental health, and advocates for ways to improve service responses so as to better support transgender people.
