Synopsis
First, the surgeons emphasize the importance of understanding terms related to gender identity and using patients’ correct pronouns. Relative to the general population, transgender individuals face higher rates of poverty, unemployment, and serious mental illness, all of which shape their interaction with the healthcare system. Then, using California as a case study, doctors Knott and Seth discuss strategies that successfully increase access to gender-affirming care. The episode finishes by addressing how insurance coverage, clinical research, education and advocacy shape gender-affirming care.
