Transgender Adults & Health Care: A Guide for Reporters

01 Oct 2023  |  gillbranstetter.medium.com  |  English  |  Suicide Prevention

Access to health care is a significant issue for transgender people, often facing humiliation, harassment, and rejection by undertrained medical providers. Transition-related care, including mental health care, hormonal therapy, and surgery, is recognized as safe and effective by major medical organizations. Health care access varies greatly by socioeconomic status and geographic location, with significant barriers in the southern United States. Insurance coverage for transition-related care has improved since the Affordable Care Act, but gaps remain, especially in state Medicaid programs. Transgender people face higher risks of HIV and suicide, largely due to minority stress and lack of adequate health care. The article emphasizes the importance of accurate and respectful reporting on transgender health issues, avoiding sensationalism and focusing on public health perspectives.
