Transgender Health: A Practitioner's Guide to Binary and Non-Binary Trans Patient Care

Health care providers, please read this book before you find yourself treating a trans or nonbinary patient. Covering a wide range of topics, including affirming language, disparities and barriers to care, hormone interactions with other medications, basic medical care, and gender affirmation surgeries, this guide offers insights on the wider social and ethical issues experienced by trans patients and should be required reading for medical practitioners and psychiatrists. This is also a great resource for trans folks who want to be more informed on recent research and procedures, and parents who want to know more about the growing research and information on trans children and adolescents. Though this book is published in the UK (and much of the information on referrals, legality, and health insurance is regionally-specific), the fundamental concepts, science, and best practices are relevant anywhere in the world.
