GENDER DYSPHORIA IS NOT A PHASE
An article written by Dr Stephen Stathis, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Children’s Health Queensland
In this episode, we learn what gender and gender identity are, how your gender is different from your sex or sexuality, and about gender diversity. Psychologist Olivia Donaghy explains the ins and outs of gender, while psychiatry registrar Dr Claire McAllister talks about the services offered to gender diverse young people at the Queensland Children's Gender Service. Queenslanders Ashley, Jayden and Willow give their accounts of growing up identifying as gender diverse.
