Ethical and Legal Considerations for Professionals Caring for Transgender Youth (Archived)

Katie Spencer, PhD & Phil Duran, JD

In recent years there has been increased interest by young people and their families in seeking various types of gender-affirming care. In Fall 2022, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health issued updated guidelines that reflect considerably greater attention to the needs of transgender and gender diverse youth than ever before—and yet the provision of this care has also proved to be politically and legally controversial. Phil Duran and Dr. Katherine Spencer will examine key ethical and legal concerns practitioners must consider when working with this population.
