Is Online Transgender Healthcare the Future? An Opinion by Michael AB Naafs in Open Access Journal of Reproductive System and Sexual Disorders (OAJRSD) in Lupinepublishers
Do It-Yourself (DIY) use of
hormones in the transgender population is increasing due to waiting lists of
2-3 years to the first appointment in a transgender healthcare center (THC). A
“gate keeping” model, psychological assessment procedures and supposed highly
specialized endocrinological treatments all contribute to these long waiting
lists However, there is no reason why trained competent primary care physicians
would not be able to support and accompany transgender people in hormonal
replacement therapy. Online treatment by trained primary care physicians offers
a solution for the growing waiting lists. In addition THCs should leave their
personal kingdoms and go the same way in favor of the safety of transgender
people.
