Journal Article
Supporting the health of trans patients in the context of Australian general practice
2020
Overview
Background: General practitioners (GPs) do not typically receive education regarding gender diversity despite the increasing number of trans, gender diverse and non-binary (TGDNB) patients presenting to general practice. It is important for GPs, as the first point of entry into the healthcare system, to provide a safe and affirming environment for TGDNB patients to reduce ill-health later in life.
Objective: The aim of this article is to clarify how GPs can improve their care of TGDNB patients to be more inclusive and thereby promote a positive relationship with the health system, assist in gender-affirming care and reduce illness within this population. The authors provide simple suggestions for clinical practice and encourage clinicians to seek professional development in this rapidly developing field.
Discussion: Care of TGDNB patients extends beyond gender-affirming care to include mental health and community supports to ensure the overall wellbeing of the patient. Central to this care is respect of the patient's gender identity and expression.
