This book aids clinicians in supporting and caring for transgender
and gender-diverse children and adolescents - youth who are born
into an incongruent body. A recent study using data from 19 states
reported that 1.8% of American youth identified as transgender.
Many people who are transgender will experience gender dysphoria,
the intense emotional distress that is caused by a discrepancy
between a person's gender identity and their sex assigned at birth.
In this compact volume, the authors discuss the variety of domains
involved in addressing gender dysmorphia: social, psychological,
medical, and legislative/advocacy. They provide clear and concise
information on the types and timing of gender-affirming medications
and surgical interventions and offer useful suggestions for making
interactions in the clinic and the clinical space inclusive for
transgender and gender-diverse youth. Among the topics covered
include: identity development and gender nonconformity in early
childhood and puberty the importance of access to mental health
professionals with expertise in gender nonconformity the
responsible use of developmentally appropriate gender-affirming
medications and surgical interventions related clinical issues such
as nutrition counselling for youth receiving gender-affirming
treatments creating a safe and inclusive healthcare environment for
transgender and gender-diverse youth advocating for transgender and
gender-diverse patients by working with local and national policy
makers Providing Affirming Care to Transgender and Gender-Diverse
Youth is essential reading for pediatric healthcare professionals
including physicians in pediatrics and family medicine, plastic
surgeons, nurses, dietitians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social
workers, and other practitioners. Students in these fields as well
as policy makers also would find this a useful resource.
