Abstract
In the fields of medical and behavioral health care, there is a demonstrable scarcity of providers who possess the necessary levels of clinical and cultural competency required to serve transgender patients. As a result of this deficiency, many members of the transgender community engage in an avoidance of care. Among providers, there are observed deficiencies in awareness regarding specific acute and chronic health disparities experienced by members of the transgender population. We aim to demonstrate the unique and intersectional health disparities experienced by this community, to empower providers serving this community. Additionally, we endeavor to propose a range of potential clinical and political interventions and options for mobilization that providers can engage in.

在医疗和行为健康护理领域，具备服务变性患者所需的必要临床和文化能力水平的医疗服务提供者明显稀缺。由于这一缺陷，许多变性人社区成员都在逃避治疗。据观察，医疗服务提供者对变性人群所经历的特定急性和慢性健康差异认识不足。我们旨在展示该群体所经历的独特和交叉性的健康差异，以增强为该群体服务的医疗服务提供者的能力。此外，我们还努力提出一系列潜在的临床和政治干预措施，以及提供者可以参与的动员方案。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
