Transgender and Gender Diverse Health Care: Fenway Guide

The very first textbook of its kind delivers the evidence- and case-based review clinicians need to address the unique healthcare realities of transgender and gender diverse adults. 

As the visibility and acceptance of transgender and gender diverse adults increases, the demand for state-of-the-art health care services increases, too. Ideal for health professional trainees and practicing clinicians in multiple disciplines, Fenway Guide to Transgender and Gender Diverse Health Care fills a void in this space, providing the information readers need to care for transgender and communities in an affirming and effective way.

This comprehensive, practical guide reviews new data on terminology, demographics, and epidemiology; highlights key aspects of gender identity emergence across the lifespan; and provides comprehensive instruction on both hormonal and surgical gender affirmation. Applying a health-equity model of care, it offers a roadmap that clinicians can use when addressing health needs of transgender and gender diverse populations.
