Abstract:
Transgender children and adolescents can be supported in France by multidisciplinary teams since the creation of dedicated consults in 2014. The personalized support provided relies on international recommendations based on scientific studies that have demonstrated the beneficial impact of such support in the short and medium term. However, many ethical and medical questions remain, particularly on the long-term effects of treatments or the impact on fertility. The continuing accumulation of data will provide these young people and their families with the most enlightened information possible.
