Standards of Care for FTM and MTF

MTF/FTM Perspectives on Diseases seen in this particular community – explore the disease problems that come up with this particular group of individuals, including mental health issues.

Some people who identify as transgender choose to go through a process of “transitioning” from the gender they were assigned at birth to the gender that is consistent with their identity. The process of transitioning takes on many aspects of life, from social, emotional, and physical. When it comes to physically transitioning (specifically, in terms of surgery and/or hormones), there are many options for transgender people. The transgender experience lies on a spectrum, and many transgender individuals can pick and choose from a variety of options to reflect a gender expression accurate for them. Some transgender people decide to take hormones but don’t do surgery, while others do surgery but not hormones. Some do both. Some do neither.

Regardless of a transgender individual’s gender identity (FtM, MtF, genderqueer, etc.), the decision whether to physically transition lies with the individual.

For transgender individuals who choose to transition, the process is often exciting, stressful, and scary all at once. There are many physical, emotional, social, and legal challenges that transitioning persons must face

Mental health counseling:

Counseling is often recommended for individuals who are thinking about transitioning. You can learn more about counseling recommendations developed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) .
