Transgender individuals identify outside of their birth-assigned genders, experiencing themselves within a continuum that exists between and within male and female. For many transgenders, medico-historically referred to as transsexuals, there is an understood need to body migrate the bodily sex features from that of the birth-assigned gender to the identified gender. Procurement of medical procedures generally requires a formal mental health assessment of the individual as having a diagnosis called Gender Identity Disorder (GID).

520 $a Transgender individuals identify outside of their birth-assigned genders, experiencing themselves within a continuum that exists between and within male and female. For many transgenders, medico-historically referred to as transsexuals, there is an understood need to body migrate the bodily sex features from that of the birth-assigned gender to the identified gender. Procurement of medical procedures generally requires a formal mental health assessment of the individual as having a diagnosis called Gender Identity Disorder (GID).
520 $a The positioning of the mental health profession in diagnosing, and thus pronouncing of readiness for hormones or surgeries, creates a unique power differential between professionals and transgenders. This differential is a source of contention for many within the transgender population because its foundational premise is that gender nonconformity is disordered, when treatment of gender nonconformity as a disorder has been established through research and medical conjecture that are seen as inherently biased. What has been constructed as objective research of gender nonconformity has used descriptive terminology such as "sissy boys" (Green, 1987) to describe males who are considered effeminate by Western contemporary constructs of femininity, and has generally failed to include the experiences of natal females who are male-or-masculine-identified.
520 $a This work is a Social Constructionist Grounded Theory that uses transgender subjectivity to explore the positioning of mental health in transgenders' lives. 11 participants identified their beliefs about the role of mental health in assessing GID for sexual reassignment surgery (SRS), as well as what the participants felt professionals needed to know about work with the population.
520 $a The theory that emerges identifies that transgenders often mistrust the profession because of concerns that professionals will use their own biases to pathologize gender nonconformity and ultimately try to dissuade participants from seeking surgical procedures. Participants identified that they need mental health environments in which they feel supported and accepted in their gender diversity, and are not treated as mentally ill. Perhaps the most important theoretical implication is the invitation to explore epistemological understandings of sex and gender as being historically bound and subjected to the prejudices of this contemporary culture, which ultimately will be deconstructed when a new episteme emerges.
