Medical TransitioningThere is no right way to be transgender. Not all transgender people wish to transition medically. Your choices are your own and they are personal, based on your individual life path. This information is for those who are considering medical transition or are curious about what some of the options are.
Medical transitioning is done in consultation with a healthcare provider. Fortunately, there are a growing number of gender clinics -- some of these are listed below.

protocolsUniversity of California San Francisco, Transgender Center of Excellence offers information, resources, and standards of care for providers who serve the transgender community.
Most providers that assist with medical transition generally follow World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) standards of care and criteria. It is good to familiarize yourself with these general guidelines, including the criteria for minors. |
