Transgender and gender-diverse patients have unique healthcare needs, and ob/gyn physicians should educate themselves so they can provide appropriate, inclusive, and affirming care, an American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) committee said.
Providers should discuss patients fertility desires as early as possible in the transition process, and ensure that contraceptive options are offered beyond gender-affirming hormone therapy, according to a report from ACOG s Committee on Gynecologic Practice and Committee on Health Care for Underserved Women.
The document, which is also published in
Obstetrics & Gynecology, notes that medications for gender transition can be safely prescribed by a wide range of providers who have the appropriate education and training including ob/gyns and no specific prescribing certification is needed to provide care.

My mom used to call me a mutt. Like a dog.
She didn t mean it to be demeaning. She just meant to say that I was mixed. She even called herself a mutt.
