   Deaf Trans Men, Psychology and the Role of Interpreters

   So that is the title of my paper that I’ve been writing for the last 5 months.  A massive research article.  It’s done, I turned it in to my teacher, she gave it back to me today.  I got a 190 out 200 on it.  Which is great.  But she asked to speak to me about it after class.  She wants to work with me on my paper to tweak a few minor things and then with my permission, she wishes to submit it to the RID Journal of Interpreters to educate current and new uprising interpreters.  The paper covers the following, in no particular order at the moment cause I’m recalling it off the top of my head:

   • Common terminology
   • The experiences of trans men
   • The four stages in the life of trans men
   • Transition, what it is and why
   • Quality of life for trans men
   • The current requirements of therapy in order to attain medical treatment
   • The effects of testosterone on trans men
   • Our society’s prejudices and the emotional issues that may arrise in a therapy session
   • The power of language over gender
   • What not to say or ask
   • How to demonstrate respect
   • The challenges of interpreting in therapy and the considerations needed to be accounted for
   • How to interpret potentially traumatizing things gently without changing the meaning
   • The role of an interpreter in the therapy setting
   • Recommendations on how to approach therapy to make it the most beneficial
   • Etc - lots of other interesting facts and statistics out there that have been researched.
