“…For example, medical professionals have often been the voice of authority in legitimizing and subjecting gay men to anal examinations that were invasive, abusive, and a form of torture (Long, 2004); and scholars have documented that transgender people are often refused care during medical emergencies (Feinberg 2001). In fact, researchers have found that transgender patients are often denied medical care or experience transphobia within medical settings (Marksamer & Vade, 2003;Reed, Cohen-Ketteris, Reed, & Spack, 2008;Riordan, 2004). For example, Tyra Hunter, a Black transgender man, died after a car accident in Washington dc because emergency medical treatment (emt) personnel argued that his body was inconsistent with his assumed gender (Feinberg, 2001).…”

antonio (jay) pastrana, jr., John Jay College of Criminal Justice, cuny juan battle, The Graduate Center, cuny abstract-For lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (lgbt) people, being comfortable with medical professionals is important. A nationwide sample of 1,374 Black lgbt people is used to examine the importance of identity, health, and demographics on the belief/perception that medical providers are comfortable with sexual identity issues. Logistic regression models reveal that respondents who were "out," had family support, had regular healthcare provider, received their medical information primarily from their healthcare provider, had "happier" dispositions, and were male have more positive belief perceptions; that is, they are more likely to perceive that their medical professional seemed comfortable with their sexual identity.

“…Now, early outcomes are being reported about those who underwent puberty suppression and transitioned early (Cohen-Kettenis, Delemarre- Van De Waal, & Gooren, 2008).

This article focuses on therapeutic interventions with gender variant youth and, in particular, pubertal suppression. The aim is to address the question of which kinds of subjects are enabled, and which are made invisible, through discursive and clinical practices. The analysis demonstrates the conceptual value of drawing on discursive and queer theoretical approaches. The published work of selected clinicians is used as a way in to the complexities that various clinical understandings and approaches bring with them. A key focus is on problems inherent in the construction of gender variant youth as 'persisting' or 'desisting' in their cross-gender wishes. Psychologists working in this area have substantial challenges to face, such as the challenge of negotiating understandings about what is a 'successful' outcome and the complexity of reporting fluidity and uncertainty in the context of a scientific forum where 'results' are expected. This article addresses the challenge of engaging psychological, discursive and clinical practices in ways that enable empowered, viable, gender variant possibilities, rather than representing gender variant youth as incoherent subjects.

“…Befürworter heben die Bedeutung des Leidens derer, die als Erwachsene behandelt wurden, hervor und die Risiken die eine Verzögerung mit sich bringen mag, sowie den Vorteil, in der diagnostischen Phase Zeit zu gewinnen. Sie unterstreichen die positiven Effekte der GnRH-Analoga auf die geistige Entwicklung der Jugendlichen, die Lebensqualität und die Tatsache, ein physisches Erscheinungsbild zu entwickeln, dass es dem Betroffenen erleichtert, in der gewünschten Geschlechtsrolle zu leben [17,18,19].…”
