Summary

Care for trans and gender nonconforming individuals will become a substantial part of Ob/Gyn practice. However, at present, many Ob/Gyn professionals experience insufficient knowledge and skills to accommodate this group. In this chapter, four key principles will be described to improve clinical services for this group. Key to this is a gender-affirmative approach and a sensitive stand by healthcare professionals, as well as a willingness to assess one’s own assumptions and knowledge (gaps). Also, one is encouraged to openly interact with local trans communities to design clinical services with a welcoming environment and low barriers to care, and to engage individuals in shared decision-making.
