Description
Summary:Standards of Care (SOC)-Sixth Version of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH, formerly the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association) is in the process of revision. In considering the next revision of the SOC, a number of articles were commissioned to examine various parts of the current WPATH SOC and review the literature pertaining to those sections. These papers were designed to (1) review the evidence (and provide us with references); (2) point out where research is lacking and needed; and (3) make possible recommendations (significant and cosmetic) to the SOC based upon new evidence. This article introduces the third set of articles pertaining to hormonal and surgical approaches to treatment.
