Trans and non-binary individuals deserve access to high-quality, affirming, and culturally sensitive voice services, not just in specialized clinics. The surge in referrals of trans and non-binary people to gender services, including voice and communication therapy, has resulted in a training crisis. This book aims to address this issue.

Speech and language therapists require an entry point into the field, as it is a highly politicized area, and SLTs often hesitate to enter. This book will enable them to start and develop their journey.

There is limited collaboration between the client community and healthcare literature. This book provides stimulation and an appreciation of the real stories and advice from trans and non-binary individuals.

In general, cisgender people, such as most SLTs, require supportive guidance in understanding gender identity and expression. It is highly rewarding for SLTs to have a deeper understanding of their systemic identities, and this book facilitates this understanding.
