Health Care for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Adults

Health Care for Transgender and Gender Diverse Adults seeks to define trans health care through a historical, analytical, and concern-based curriculum. The first half of the course will explore the components of sexual identity through an intersectional lens, the systemic marginalization of gender-diverse populations, and the historical pathologization of nonconforming sexual identities in the history of health care. The second half of this course seeks to define trans health care through a tripartite lens of care preceding and during transition, care for nonconforming people, and health care for trans concerns before analyzing the historicity of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) standards of care and relevant ongoing care for gender-diverse patients.
