Calls for respect for transgender patients


 

“CARING FOR THE TRANSGENDER PATIENT: THE ROLE OF THE GYNECOLOGIST”
CECILE A. UNGER, MD, MPH (JUNE 2017)


Calls for respect for transgender patients

We must keep in mind that transgender males are still sexually anatomically female, with all of the medical needs of any other female. Transgender is merely a social construct. We must treat them with kindness and respect.
