For Transgender People
What Transgender People Need to Know
Living in a world that still finds LGBT issues complicated can cause stress, stigma, and discrimination. These can have real effects on our health. Simply being transgender doesn't cause health problems - but society's fits and starts of slow lurching toward full acceptance can.
What do these things have in common?
- Access to Health Care
- Health History
- Cardiovascular Health
- STDs and Safe Sex
- Alcohol and Tobacco
- Injectable Silicone
They're the top ten things transgender people should discuss with their healthcare providers, according to the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association.
