Access to gender-affirming hormone therapy in adolescence is associated with better mental health outcomes for transgender adults, according to a new study. - NBCOUT
last year from the Center for American Progress found that 40 percent of transgender respondents — and 56 percent of trans respondents of color — said their health insurance companies denied coverage for gender-affirming care, which includes treatments like hormones and surgery.
Jack Turban, a lead author on the recent PLOS One study and chief fellow in child and adolescent psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine, said the new research highlights that the U.S. “has failed to make gender-affirming medical care accessible.” The study found that a significant portion, 41 percent, of trans people who desired gender-affirming hormones were unable to access them at all. It also found that rates of suicidal ideation in the past year were still high among all trans people — including those who had access to gender-affirming hormones — compared to the general population.
