Transgender and non-binary adolescents assert individualised treatment goals for gender affirmation

Por: Kuzma · E. K. · Yingling · C.

Commentary on: Roden R C, Billman M, Francesco A, Mullin R, Tassi C, Wozolek B, Heppard B, Essayli J, & Stuckey-Peyrot H (2024). Treatment goals of adolescents and young adults for gender dysphoria. Pediatrics, 153(1), e2023062202. https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2023-062202.

Implications for practice and research

  • Clinicians should individualise gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary adolescents, respecting their specific medical and surgical treatment goals as presented at initial healthcare appointments.

  • Future research should separately analyse the distinct treatment aspirations of gender-diverse (‘eclectic’) adolescents to refine clinical guidelines and inform public policy.

    • Context

    An increasing number of adolescents and young adults seek medical care for gender affirmation.1 Approximately 0.6%–2.0% of adolescents and young adults identify as transgender and non-binary (TNB).2 TNB youth and their caregivers need to be engaged in the developmentally appropriate multidisciplinary care that encompasses gender-affirming medical care and support.
