| Abstract: | With an explicit goal of "eas[ing] people's gender-based suffering" (p. 11), each chapter reflects a resistance to reducing transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse (TNG[2]) experiences to statistical norms and outcomes. Subsequently, clinical psychologist, gender specialist, and sex therapist Katherine Rachlin explores "The Intersection of Gender Diversity and Asexuality" in her aptly titled Chapter 5. Fine, [12], p. 351 I Sex, Sexuality, and Trans Identities i explores TNG sexuality not only through a lens of self-definition and subjectivity, but concurrently interrogates the cultural pathologizing of TNG experiences. The implications of such framings transcend those strictly applicable to TNG experiences as consensus across psychological research supports a "statistically normative" mosaicism of sex and gender characteristics in the general population (i.e., neurological structure, hormonal balance, and psychological gender traits; Hyde et al., [15]).
