AB There  is  increasing  recognition  that  transgender  and  gender  diverse  (TGD)  people  have  specific  health  care  needs,  including  gender-affirming,  evidence-based  behavioral  health  care  offered  by  trained,  culturally  responsive  clinicians.  Although  TGD  youth  and  adults  experience  a  range  of  stressors  related  to  their  gender  minority  status  and  are  at  increased  risk  for  various  associated  psychiatric  and  behavioral  health  problems,  they  experience  numerous  barriers  to  receiving  appropriate  behavioral  health  care.1,2  This  inequity  is  one  reason  for  the  disproportionate  rates  of  mental  health  disorders,  suicidality,  substance  use  disorders,  and  functional  impairments  often  reported  in  this  population.
