Most people identify with their biological sex and corresponding psychological gender. They were born and raised as a boy or girl and grow up to do both "male" activities and "female" activities without much difficulty. We all wonder from time to time about our gender and how it affects us, but it is not a source of difficulty. We usually just accept that from time to time we may act or feel like the other gender.

Some people have questions and concerns about their "male" and "female" characteristics. Some men feel feminine, some women feel masculine, some people feel like they are both male and female, and some neither. Sometimes these feelings arise at an early age. These feelings and questions can lead to negative social consequences, discomfort, and secrecy.

Gender questions such as these can be worked out, and a psychologist can be of service in this area. In my practice, I work with people (young, middle aged, and older) dealing with all sorts of questions related to gender. I am a member of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association.
