Description of CME Course
Tension between naming gender dysphoria to render an important kind of suffering among transgender people more visible and avoiding pathologizing experiences of transgender people in a gender-binary world can be keenly felt among patients seeking gender-affirming services. This article suggests why clinical “verification” of a patient’s need for gender-affirming care is likely less important than clinicians’ expressions of empathy and respect for patients’ autonomy. This article also suggests that fostering transgender patients’ sense of agency should be prioritized.
