ABSTRACT
Transgender and gender nonbinary (TGNB) adolescents and young adults (AYA) may present to clinicians with reproductive health expertise for the spectrum of gynecologic, sexual, and reproductive care. As such, clinicians should be knowledgeable in the many facets of gender-affirming care. This clinical opinion reviews language associated with gender diversity and gender-affirming care; current clinical, social, and political barriers faced by TGNB AYA; and the creation of welcoming and inclusive clinical spaces for TGNB AYA. It discusses social, medical, and surgical affirmation processes, and focuses on gynecologic care topics which may arise in the care of TGNB AYA, including those who undergo medical or surgical therapies. This includes menstrual suppression, breakthrough bleeding on testosterone, sexual health, fertility, and the pelvic care of individuals following gender affirming vulvovaginoplasty.
