Invisibly Trans: Becoming a Fly on the Patriarchy's Wall

Kit Morgan, LCSW, trans and queer licensed clinical social worker (in New York, Virginia, and Indiana), writer, educator, and therapist for the queer population who had families and faith backgrounds where love was allowed, only as long as you were cisgender heterosexual- delves into the significance of Trans Day of Visibility and the euphoria and challenges associated with visibility. It explores the impact of conversion therapy, the influence of gender structures, purity culture, and religious teachings on gender. Additionally, Kit Morgan addresses the role of gender in therapy spaces, the anti-feminist separation of genders, the connection between purity culture and misogyny, and the impact of trans visibility on the patriarchy. The conversation concludes with a reflection on the gratitude for being a trans individual.TakeawaysTrans Day of Visibility (and Invisibility)Conversion Therapy for Gender Identity and ExpressionChapters00:00 Trans Day of Visibility06:21 Influence of Gender Structures12:03 Gender Roles and Cognitive Restructuring21:25 Gender in Therapy Spaces30:06 Purity Culture and Misogyny37:44 Conversion Therapy and Internal TransitionTo learn more about Kit Morgan, LCSW's work, please follow them on Substack, Instagram, and TikTok @theliberatedporch
