Gender Matters: Insights from a Physician

After the Presidential Election: What Physicians Can Do Now for Transgender/Nonbinary Patients (#42)

Dr Shannon Season 1 Episode 42

In the wake of the recent presidential election, many transgender and nonbinary patients—and their families—are grappling with renewed uncertainty and concerns for their safety, respect, and access to care. As physicians, we have an opportunity to play a key role in addressing these fears and providing the support our patients need now more than ever.

In this episode, I share insights on what I’m hearing from patients and families, the common questions and concerns they bring, and why these worries matter for every healthcare provider. We’ll explore responses that help, approaches that don’t, and practical steps that strengthen reassurance in your practice, no matter your specialty.

Are you prepared to address the concerns your transgender and nonbinary patients may bring to the exam room? Listen in to explore how you can be a reliable source of support in these uncertain times.
