The Gender Wheel and Approach hold and synthesize decades of ongoing research. The Approach draws on the work of Joan Roughgarden, Bruce Bagemihl and many other researchers documenting the vast body, gender, and relationship diversity of the animal world. It also expands on the work of historians like Will Roscoe, Susan Stryker, Kit Hayem, Jen Manion and more who provide meticulous research into suppressed 2SLGBTQIA+ history and experience. Maya’s combined experience and research deeply informs the Gender Wheel Approach, giving it a maturity and emotional stability that allows participants to trust, relax, and learn.
