  • Stories of Life Satisfaction and Wellness from Post
    THE FRED STUDY: STORIES OF LIFE SATISFACTION AND WELLNESS FROM POST-TRANSITION TRANSGENDER MEN by Marcus Skidley Greatheart B.A (Hon.), The University of Victoria, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January, 2010 © Marcus Skidley Greatheart 2010 ABSTRACT The Fred Study is a Vancouver-based narrative study exploring life satisfaction, mental health and wellness as described by eight transgender men. Focus groups and follow-up individual interviews were conducted and guided in part using a strengths-based model commonly used in social work practice. Participants in this study discussed how peers and service providers alike perpetuate a dominant “negative transition story” which suggests all transgender men struggle with long- term substance abuse issues, depression, suicide, and life-long gender dysphoria, and will endure endless healthcare waitlists for hormones or surgical interventions ensuring they conform to normative gender standards and behave as heterosexual after transition. Despite these perceived challenges participants described having a positive transition experience while demonstrating resilience and self-efficacy in negotiating the healthcare system to access the care they desired. Coping strategies and impacts on mental health and substance abuse are discussed here, as well as implications for social work practice and ongoing research with this population. An assessment

Vicky West (in center of photograph) at the transgender community, I have presented slide shows at hotel swimming pool, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1978. a variety of conferences during the past 30 years. I have varied the slide shows according to the audience and, to challenge myself, asked various questions about my art. What fresh visual connections can I make? How do my newest images relate to earlier series? Shall I focus on indi- vidual heroes and heroines—community leaders—or on dramatic historical events that galvanized people to rethink their lives and demand policy changes? Is it appro- priate to show body images and surgery? Should I focus on youth and relationships? What about speaking of my life as an artist and how it connects to the transgender community? Long before I knowingly met a transgender person, I pondered such questions as, Why are certain character traits assigned to men or to women? and Are these traits in different directions except for one person, Vicky West, immutable or culturally defined? My cultural anthropol- who focused straight back at me. As I peered through the ogy studies offered some theories, but it was not until camera lens, I had the feeling that I was looking at nei- 1978, when I visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras, that I ther a man nor a woman but at the essence of a human came face to face with the opportunity to explore gender being; right then, I decided that I must have this person identity issues through personal experience.

However, many of the specific people. When I asked an EMT instructor about treating medical complications transgender people face do not emerge in transgender people he told me it would be obvious that they were the same way as they do with cisgender patients. There is an transgender. I knew this was not the case and asked, "What if we immense lack of education for students in medical professions do not know?" The instructor responded that it was their fault and about transgender people and their specific complications. This if they wanted to live then they would tell the EMTs. However, paper will address several transgender patient complications, both one of the prime goals of any medical professional is to make the in emergency care and primary care situations. I will also explain patient, no matter who it is, feel comfortable.

The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Dr. Dan Irving Associate Professor Supervisor Dr. Andrew McMurry Associate Professor Internal-external Member Dr. Kim Nguyen Assistant Professor Internal Members Dr. Gordon Slethaug Adjunct Professor Dr. Victoria Lamont Associate Professor ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract When Christine Jorgensen stepped off a plane in New York City from Denmark in 1952, she became one of the first instances of trans celebrity, and her intensely popular story was adapted from an article to a memoir and then a film in 1970. Though not the first trans person recorded in history, Jorgensen's story is crucial in the history of trans representation because her journey embodies the archetypal trans narrative which moves through stages of confusion, discovery, cohesion, and homecoming. This structure was solidified in memoirs of the 1950- 1970s, and grew in popularity alongside the booming film industry in the wake of the Hays Production Code, which finally allowed directors, producers, and writers to depict trans and gender nonconforming characters and their stories on-screen.
