ABSTRACT
The recent history of LGB psychology has been taken to scaffold the expansion of an affirmative project to transgender people in the last decade. The promise of LGB psychology in this effort rests both on its decades-old institutional structures within professional psychology organizations, and the paradigm shifts away from medical models. If lesbian, gay, and bisexual psychology could play a role in bringing about a more affirmative psychology for gender minorities, then it would be fulfilling, in part, the promise of Laura Brown's vision of a transformative paradigm. One risk of using LGB psychology as the ground for LGBT psychology lies in the necessary assumption that LGB psychology has achieved more than it has, and by so doing contributing to modern prejudicial thinking that equality has been achieved. Orfganized lesbian and gay psychology, on its own, did not do very much to support transgender movements.
