Prioritizing GenderAffirming Care for Youth: The Role of PediatricFocused Clinicians
Journal of Pediatric Health Care(2024)
Abstract
Gender-affirming care (GAC) acknowledges the right of each individual to live in the gender that is most authentic to them and to receive nonjudgmental, developmentally appropriate care. For transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals, this care may include transition-related care, such as puberty blockers, genderaffirming hormones, and therapies, including surgery. All youth, including TGD youth, deserve confidential, adolescent-friendly care. However, recent legislation in many states seeks to limit access and/or ban GAC for TGD youth. This article reviews the evidence supporting GAC for adolescents, the risk of denying this care, and recommendations for advocacy from all pediatric-focused clinicians. J Pediatr Health Care.
