Sexual Health among Transgender People

Engaging transgender clients in exploring sexuality – including intersectionality with gender identity and shifts in attraction associated with medical affirmation—is integral to the larger, clinical goal of affirming transgender identities and providing competent care. In this webinar, Dr. Alex Keuroghlian, MD MPH, will review recent research as well as existing best behavioral health practices and therapeutic considerations for sexual health among transgender clients, including the following topics: sexual identities and fluidity, sexual satisfaction following medical affirmation, and relational health. Attention is given to providing a transgender-affirming frame and discussing sexual health risk within the context of psychosocial stressors, including challenges related to gender affirmation and experiences of transphobia.
