Abstract

Mental health professionals rated their competence (CP) and comfort (CF) with cisgender clients and gender variant clients. We found CP and CF are strongly correlated (p<.001) across six gender categories. Significant differences (p<.001) between ratings for cisgender and gender variant clients exist in both CP and CF.
