Abstract
The acronym 'LGBTQ+' collapses gender and sexuality diversity, at the same time as it treats these as mutually exclusive categories. The collapsing of gender and sexuality often means that trans people are overlooked, while the treatment of gender and sexuality as mutually exclusive often means that trans people's sexualities are ignored. This chapter explores what it means to work with sexuality diverse trans people in the context of therapeutic practice.
