The Paradoxes of Gender Podcasts are Designed to Deliver
Professional Development Educational Programs for the LGBTQ+
Medical & Behavioral Healthcare Providers who provide Medical
& Behavioral Healthcare Services to Transgender, Gender
Diverse, Gender Non-Conforming, Gender Incongruent and Non-Binary
Individuals.  

Prepared & Presented by: Dr. Diana Sorrentino,
Ph.D.
Social-Psychologist & Behavioral Analyst
 

Delivering comprehensive Medical or Behavioral Healthcare Services
as a component of your practice on behalf of Transgender (TG),
Gender Diverse (GD) Individuals and members of the LGBTQ+ Community
may at times prove to be a little challenging. The challenges you
may experience have historically been caused by a lack of
specialized medical or behavioral health training you received in
preparation for your career and the care you will be providing for
Transgender and Gender Diverse patients.   

This understanding was underscored and reinforced by a 2011 study,
reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the
medical schools, on average, only provide Five (5) hours of
academic or clinical instruction on LGBTQ+ healthcare
requirements.  In the absence of specialized training; time is
required to acquire first-hand real-world knowledge and experience
with the diverse challenges, needs and experiences these
individuals present and what they are confronted with as they live
their lives in their Self-Attributed Non-Conforming
Gender roles.  

Transgender, Gender Diverse, Gender Non-Conforming, Gender
Incongruent & Non-Binary individuals, their families,
friends, schools, employers and social-networks will also benefit
from the content of these Podcasts in-spite of the fact that the
detailed medical and psychological content of these programs
focuses on the continuing educational needs and requirements of the
medical or behavioral healthcare professional.  Knowledge is
essential to counteract the negative publicity and the political
hyperbole disseminated by individuals with no understanding of the
history and underlying biological factors influencing gender
non-conformity.
