Provides the most up-to-date information on transgender science and
its applications, for gender-diverse people, their supporters, and
the professionals who assist them to lead healthy, happy, and
successful lives. The number of people presenting at gender clinics
worldwide for assistance has increased exponentially in the last
decade. Transgender people also have become much more prominent in
the media. An increase in political populism, however, has brought
unprecedented attacks on trans* people. Covering a wealth of topics
relevant to transgender people and their supporters, both social
and professional, Heath and Wynne help readers to see through the
flawed arguments of those who wish to inflict damage on the trans*
community. The content of this book ranges from theoretical ideas
about the origin of gender diversity to practical solutions for
trans* people to enjoy life in their chosen gender. Physical health
topics include hormone therapy, puberty blockers, breast
augmentation/reduction, gender confirmation surgery, and speech
therapy. Mental health topics include dealing with discrimination,
bullying, and transphobia. The text is presented so that it can be
understood with no scientific background, but is also highly
relevant to the health professional. Copious footnotes and
references allow those wishing to delve more deeply into the topics
to do so easily. The book is also supported by readily accessible
resources available online and on social media. Covers the full
spectrum of current knowledge on trans* health and issues Surveys
transgender history and defines transgender terminology Addresses
new developments for young and elder transgender people Includes
copious footnotes and references Lists further resources available
online and on social media
