Transgender people deal with a range of health issues. Some are specific to the community, others affect it disproportionately, and others impact transgender and cisgender people alike. Readers will learn about mental and emotional health, gender dysphoria, hormone replacement therapy (including puberty-blocking hormones), gender affirmation surgery, and more. They'll be reminded that, while surgery and hormone treatments can be life saving, they are neither right for every transgender person nor a requirement for being transgender. They'll also read about the barriers to care that transgender people frequently face and get advice on dealing with a health care system marked by cissexism.

      Gr 9 Up-This top-notch series, which includes meticulously chosen resources and agency contacts, presents a windfall of useful information. The titles address the daily challenges many people face, and provide uplifting motivation, both to transgender individuals and cisgender supporters, in their pursuit of health and happiness. Covering everything from coming out to legal rights and concerns, these comprehensive volumes encourage conversation to promote social tolerance. The many nuances of terminology are thoroughly examined, with authors advocating sensitivity to the dignity of trans folks. Outdated and unaccepted terms are clarified, with special attention given to some that have been embraced with new meaning by the community. Current thoughts on the gender binary versus the gender spectrum and the differences between sexuality and gender identity are also examined. Inspirational stories from renowned and lesser-known individuals and activists in a variety of fields are highlighted, reflecting the evolution of the discourse in the United States. VERDICT An essential series to inform, guide, and support transgender teens.
