Produktbeschreibung

Forty Years to Life: A Case Study presents a comprehensive examination of gender identity conflict as observed over a forty-year period of identity suppression and eventual resolution. Framed as an analytical study, it explores the biological, psychological, social, and institutional dimensions that define and influence the transgender experience. Through systematic observation and structured analysis, the work investigates the interplay between internal identity and external expectation how social conditioning, professional constraints, and cultural perceptions contribute to prolonged concealment of authentic gender identity. This case study synthesizes research from the sciences, medicine, law, and ethics to illuminate the complexity of gender identity as both a human condition and a social construct. It aims to inform clinicians, scholars, policymakers, and advocates seeking to understand gender variance not as abstraction, but as a measurable and consequential aspect of human existence.

Autorenporträt

Ms. Ward grew up in a house full of music and a family focus on small town retail banking. She too devoted herself to finance for decades with a finance-concentration MBA and a career in financial services. But she always felt a compulsion to pretend secretly to be someone else---suppressed. It took decades for her to approach transition. Once begun, transition was unstoppable. Years later, she examined her experience in The Fallacy of Assignable Gender. Beginning a new life as a PhD student in sex and gender psychology, she seized an opportunity to revisit her earlier work and she completed Forty Years to Life.
