The experiences of transgender providers of gender-affirming care
Perceived Effect of Race/Ethnicity, Place, and Religion on Gender Identity
Transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse young adults (TGD-YA) experience mental health inequities. Negative experiences coming out (disclosing gender identity) and/or understanding gender identity can adversely affect mental health. This formative study explored the perceived effect of race/ethnicity, place, and religion on TGD-YA experiences of coming out/understanding gender. In August 2022, a U.S. nationwide sample of TGD-YA ages 18–25 year…
Legislating and adjudicating the rights of LGBTQ youth in child welfare
Over the past 40 years, protections have been enacted in recognition of the unique struggles faced by LGBTQ youth in systems of child welfare, including adoption, foster care, probate and family court, and child protection. These protections have been enacted out of recognition that LGBTQ children are both highly vulnerable and disproportionately represented in these systems. This article examines the history, rhetoric and current landscape of co…
Surgical Treatment of Transgender and Gender‐Diverse Individuals and Health Outcomes
Gender affirming surgeries are procedures that are used by transgender and gender diverse individuals to align their bodies to their gender identities. These have been shown to improve the mental health and wellbeing of those individuals who choose to access them. Rates of regret associated with gender affirming surgeries are low, and in addition to improving mental health and quality of life, these procedures have the potential to make it safer …
US Laws Restricting Medical Care for Transgender Minors
Inconsistent statutory rules appear to be applied to TGD and presumptively non-TGD minors. Furthermore, these findings suggest such rules are shaped by definitions of sex and gender that conflict with current scientific understanding. Sound health policy ought to afford equal access to health care services affecting sexual anatomy, without discrimination based on sex traits or gender
Fertility Intentions and Histories Among Transgender Adults Who Started Gender-Affirming Testosterone Before Adulthood
Greater discrepancies between youth- and caregiver-reported psychosocial functioning in the Youth Self-Report/Child Behavior Checklist predict greater self-reported distress in transgender and gender …
Challenges and Best Practices Using Claims Data to Study Gender-Affirming Surgery in Transgender and Gender-Diverse Populations
Assessment of Sexual Activity and Contraceptive Counseling Among Transgender Individuals Initiating Testosterone
Context Testosterone, which some transgender and non‐binary (TGNB) individuals born with a uterus will use for gender affirmation, is not a form of contraception. Gaps remain in understanding how well clinicians address contraceptive needs with individuals initiating testosterone. Methodology This was an IRB‐approved retrospective analysis of TGNB individuals on testosterone for gender affirmation. Charts were evaluated for whether or not sexual …
“Band-Aids on Bullet Holes”
COVID-19 has continued to bring devastation to children and families, even 1 year into the pandemic. The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement has also led to renewed attention to systemic racism in the United States and awareness of how the pandemic has further exacerbated health inequities that disproportionately affect communities of color. Pediatric hospital social workers have played a key role since the beginning of the pandemic in respon…
“We followed their lead”
Transgender and gender diverse youth and young adults (TGDY) experience higher mental health morbidity, including self-harm, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts, as compared to cisgender peers. Support from family members is associated with improved mental health outcomes for TGDY. However, little is known about the process that caregivers who consider themselves supportive undergo and how caregiver-youth relationships evolve through a TGDY's …
Sexual Orientation Labels Used by Transgender and Gender Diverse Adolescents and Young Adults Seeking Gender Affirming Hormones
How Should Clinicians Navigate Decision Making About Genital Reconstructive Surgeries Among Intersex and Transgender Populations
Genital reconstructive surgeries (GRS) are available for a variety of indications and populations, including transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals and those with intersex traits/differences in sex development (I/dsd). Despite the common outcomes of GRS for TGD and I/dsd individuals, decision making about this surgical care differs between these populations and across the lifespan. Sociocultural perspectives on sexuality and gender domi…
The role of social work and social welfare in the current crisis facing trans youth in the US
Social work in the US has failed to respond to the largest legislative attack on the rights of transgender and non-binary people in the history of the country. Hundreds of laws have been proposed over the past several years, aiming to ban transgender and non-binary people from public life, as well as criminalising gender-affirming healthcare and attempting to remove transgender youth from supportive families for forced detransition. Beginning wit…
You can’t be deadnamed in a video game”
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents experience mental health challenges at higher rates than cisgender peers due to a combination of minority stress and gender dysphoria. Many TGD youth use video games to cope with stress and access informal networks of support. However, very little is known about the potential positive influence avatar customization has for this group of youth. To address this gap in the literature, in-depth, semi-s…
We’re Moving in the Right Direction. Still a Long Way to Go”
A positive LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/nonbinary, queer) workplace climate is critical for healthcare employee satisfaction, productivity, and patient care. The current study assessed LGBTQ+ workplace climate among 791 employees from a large urban pediatric hospital. Several workplace climate domains were assessed in an online survey: employee attitudes, training, experiences related to working with LGBTQ+ colleagues, patients and…
How Should Decision-Sharing Roles Be Considered in Adolescent Gender Surgeries
The nascent field of gender-affirming surgery (GAS) for binary and nonbinary transgender adolescents is growing rapidly, and the optimal use of shared decision making (SDM)-including who should be involved, to what extent, and for which parts of the decision-is still evolving. Participants include the adolescent (whose goals might center on aesthetics and functionality), the surgeon (who might focus more on minimizing complications), the referrin…
Women’s college admissions and retention policies pertaining to transgender students
The growing visibility of transgender youth has led to increased attention on access to traditionally single-sex spaces—including those in higher education. One area that has sparked controversy is whether, and which, transgender students belong at women’s colleges. To assess the current status of this issue, women’s college policies around admitting and graduating transgender students were obtained for 33 of the 34 women’s colleges in the United…
Public Accommodation Laws and Gender Panic in Clinical Settings
Public accommodation laws (PALs) are used to address discrimination against minorities. There is broad discussion about using such laws to either protect or prohibit access to sex-segregated spaces for transgender people. Health care facilities are subject to PALs, which affect rooming assignments and access to sex-segregated environments. Around the time that a Massachusetts transgender PAL went into effect in October 2016, the first author (EB)…
