ABSTRACT
This chapter is intended for primary care physicians-general practitioners, family physicians, and general internists-who wish to provide medical care to gender-variant persons. These include individuals who experience dissonance between their natal sex and their psychological gender, some of whom will choose hormonal or surgical treatments to resolve this conflict, as well as persons whose gender presentation is outside usual male or female norms, and those whose personal gender identity is other than fully female or fully male.
