Abstract

Transgender and gender diverse people can experience increased depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and suicide from gender dysphoria (GD). GD occurs due to a discrepancy between a person’s gender identity, assigned gender, and physical characteristics. Gender affirming medical care, including dermatologic care, can increase body-gender congruence and decrease negative outcomes associated with GD.
