Region 5 Virtual Offering: Gender-Affirming Care for a New Generation
December 5 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
$25Description: There are about 1.4 million transgender people in the United States, which is about the same as the prevalence of type 1 diabetes. Rates of transgender identity are increasing among youth, with 2.9% of Massachusetts high school students describing themselves as transgender or questioning their gender. Yet, many in healthcare have little to no formal education about how to provide appropriate care to transgender identity including the social, legal, and medical steps that transgender people may take to affirm their identities and how transgender people experience the healthcare system through the lens of minority stress. We will also talk about developmental perspectives on gender identity among youth and strategies for supporting transgender and questioning youth in school and primary care settings.
