Health Issues When You're Transgender
Paperback
(Rosen Young Adult Jan. 1, 2017)
Transgender people deal with a range of health issues. Some are specific to the community, others affect it disproportionately, and others impact transgender and cisgender people alike. Readers will learn about mental and emotional health, gender dysphoria, hormone replacement therapy (including puberty-blocking hormones), gender affirmation surgery, and more. Theyll be reminded that, while surgery and hormone treatments can be life saving, they are neither right for every transgender person nor a requirement for being transgender. Theyll also read about the barriers to care that transgender people frequently face and get advice on dealing with a health care system marked by cissexism.
