| Abstract | Historically, this population’s health needs have been ignored by American medicine and nursing. Only within the past two decades has the American Medical Association acknowledged that transgender-related care is medically necessary and should be covered by insurance. Only in 2014, did the American Psychiatric Association recognize that merely being transgender was not a mental health disorder. The American Nurses Association is silent on any issue directly related to transgender health care needs. Transgender-related issues are ignored in current nursing textbooks, including those focused on cultural competency. |
