Dr. Diane Ehrensaft


For the past three decades, Dr. Diane Ehrensaft has been working with and writing about gender-nonconforming children and their families. She has seen a new crop of issues emerge for transgender children and their families as more of them explore their gender identities at an earlier age.

These changes have prompted her and her colleagues to open the Child and Adolescent Center. Calling it a "center" is a bit of a misnomer, as it is really a collection of professionals throughout the Bay Area. These include mental health and medical professionals, educators, attorneys, activists and researchers who provide comprehensive services to enhance gender health within a gender-affirmative model.
