Ethical considerations for health leaders responsible for the care of transgender patients
11 Alberta Health Services, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Abstract:
As transgender persons have gained a stronger voice within 21st century Western society, their stories have received greater prominence within the media and academia. This has spurred further social change, bringing questions about gender identity and expression into public discourse, leading for calls for systemic changes regarding how gender is defined and understood. Health leaders have ethical obligations to respond to this call and to develop and sustain health systems where safer, respectful and welcoming care and spaces are available for all patients.
