My case manager wanted me to do some research on WPATH. I was wondering if any one knew where I can get some clear knowledge on organization. (I have already visited the website)

Have you read the WPATH guidelines?
http://www.wpath.org/uploaded_files/140/files/IJT%20SOC,%20V7.pdf (http://www.wpath.org/uploaded_files/140/files/IJT%20SOC,%20V7.pdf)
Every transitioning person should read them.
Mehh forget WPATH....have you considered informed consent instead?

or find Informed Consent advocating therapists who will write letters that a WPATH Surgeon will accept. They are out there.
To the OP, this very site has a great Wiki that covers WPATH quite nicely.

Umm...do you want info on the WPATH
standards, or on the organization
itself?
I can't help with either, but perhaps a clarification will help another.

After reading a little more I'm leaning towards learning about the Standards and guidelines.
Also Thank you all for your replies. I'll defiantly check out the wiki.

Thank you, Sephirah, I don't know why people link to offsite information so often when we usually have it right here already. Also, thanks, Wiki Staff! Hugs, Devlyn
