Abstract

Purpose of review: In recent years, there has been a drastic increase in legislation across US states that aims to ban gender-affirming care (GAC) for transgender and nonbinary (trans) youth. We synthesized the literature on bans on GAC, its impacts on medical and mental health providers, trans communities, particularly trans youth and their caregivers (e.g., parents/families), and provided recommendations for future research and advocacy.

Recent findings: We highlight several adverse impacts of legislation banning GAC, including: an increase in professional tensions for medical and mental health providers that work with trans youth and worse mental health outcomes for trans youth and their caregivers due to loss of autonomy in accessing evidence-based GAC.

Summary: Bans on GAC undermine evidenced-based practices and are resulting in negative health effects for trans communities and youth. Research evidence highlights the need to examine effects of bans at the intersections of gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity.

禁止性别肯定护理立法的叙述综合审查。

回顾目的：近年来，美国各州的立法急剧增加，旨在禁止为跨性别和非二元（跨性别）青年提供性别确认护理（GAC）。我们综合了关于禁止GAC的文献，其对医疗和精神卫生提供者、跨性别社区，特别是跨性别青年及其照顾者（如父母/家庭）的影响，并为未来的研究和宣传提供了建议。最近的发现：我们强调了立法禁止GAC的几个不利影响，包括：为跨性别青年提供服务的医疗和心理健康提供者的职业紧张加剧，以及由于在获取基于证据的GAC方面失去自主权，跨性别青年及其照顾者的心理健康结果更差。摘要：禁止GAC破坏了基于证据的做法，并对跨性别社区和青年的健康造成负面影响。研究证据强调，有必要在性别认同、社会经济地位、种族和民族的交叉点审查禁令的影响。
