PY - 2022 T2 - Transgender and Gender Diverse Health Care: The Fenway Guide AB - In order to successfully engage transgender and gender diverse (TGD) patients in care, clinicians and the health care institutions in which they work must first prove that their facilities are safe and welcoming places to be. A double bind exists for many TGD patients wherein they seek, in an ostensibly free market, to be able to choose the health care professional and location that provides the best services for their needs. Regardless of a patient’s privilege, the reality is that between insurance, geographic limitations, and a declining number of primary care clinicians, many people have little choice over whom they have as their clinician and where they see that person. Therefore, it is incumbent on health care professionals and their practice settings to educate themselves about and institute best practices to ensure that TGD patients receive sensitive and appropriate care.
