Authors of  "You're in the Wrong Bathroom!" And 20 Other Myths and Misconceptions About Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People will be at The LOFT on Saturday, June 10th at 7:30pm.

The authors examine the common myths about the trans community as well as the medical, social, psychological and political aspects of being transgender today. From Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner to Thomas Beatie (“the pregnant man”) and transgender youth, coverage of trans lives has been exploding—yet so much misinformation persists. 

You’re in the Wrong Bathroom! unpacks the twenty-one most common myths and misconceptions about transgender and gender-nonconforming people.

Authors Laura Erickson-Schroth, MD, a psychiatrist, and Laura A. Jacobs, LCSW-R, a psychotherapist, address a range of fallacies:

Trans People Are “Trapped in the Wrong Body”
You’re Not Really Trans If You Haven’t Had “the Surgery”
Trans People Are a Danger to Others, Especially Children
Trans People Are Mentally Ill and Therapy Can Change Them
Trans People and Feminists Don’t Get Along
