The history of gender theory is marked by critical conversations, difficult dialogues, and inspiring activism that have expanded gender informed treatment and continue to shape interventions for people with a variety of gender identities (see Singh and dickey, 2017). The “APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men” are an example of progress toward better understanding how gender identity impacts psychological and counseling treatment. But while the guidelines mention gay, bisexual, and transgender men, the focus on heterosexual, cisgender masculinity precludes them from fully exploring theoretical and treatment implications for transgender and non-binary people. We expand the conversation around therapeutic work with boys and men by focusing on how “affirmative practice” (see Singh and dickey 2017) with transgender and non-binary individuals may inform use of the Guidelines. In doing so, we draw attention to where the Guidelines may be expanded to be more inclusive of transgender and non-binary peoples’ experiences.

跨性别和非二元肯定方法应用于男孩和男人的心理实践

性别理论的历史以批判性对话、艰难对话和鼓舞人心的行动主义为标志，这些活动扩大了性别知情治疗，并继续为具有各种性别认同的人制定干预措施（参见 Singh 和 dickey，2017 年）。“APA 男孩和男人心理实践指南”是在更好地理解性别认同如何影响心理和咨询治疗方面取得进展的一个例子。但是，虽然指南提到了同性恋、双性恋和跨性别男性，但对异性恋、顺性别男性气质的关注使他们无法充分探索对跨性别和非二元人群的理论和治疗影响。我们通过关注跨性别和非二元性个体的“积极实践”（参见 Singh 和 dickey 2017）如何为指南的使用提供信息，从而扩大了与男孩和男性的治疗工作的对话。在此过程中，我们提请注意指南可能会在哪些方面进行扩展，以更加包容跨性别和非二元人群的经历。
