Description:
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people represent a growing subset of patient populations, yet many continue to report a lack of provider knowledge when it comes to TGD health. This session will build on TGD health terminology and competency essentials presented in Part 1, Chosen Family: Contraception for Transgender and Gender Diverse People, by reviewing evidence-based recommendations for contraception, fertility, and family-building counseling.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe three new pieces of data that providers can incorporate into their counseling for patients initiating testosterone gender-affirming hormone therapy.
- Identify two aspects of contraceptive counseling that providers can incorporate into the care of patients initiating estrogen gender-affirming hormone therapy.
- Explain existing data on fertility and gender-affirming hormone therapy and how this data can inform their decision-making for patients and families.
