Trans elder: Aging with knowledge and grace

Transgender and Gender Diverse adults face significant challenges accessing healthcare through their lifespan. This presentation will explore best practices for preventive health, also known as health care maintenance, based on our organs present as we age. We will discuss the impact of hormones and surgery on these recommendations and how to navigate the healthcare system as trans and gender diverse persons. We will reference behavioral health, sexuality, death and dying, and legal considerations as elders. There will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion.

Learning objectives:

  • Identify 3 challenges that elder trans and gender diverse persons encounter trying to access health care
  • Describe 3 health care maintenance recommendations for bodies that have or had uterus and/or ovaries
  • Describe 3 health care maintenance recommendations for bodies that have or had testicles and a prostate
  • Describe how these health care maintenance recommendations change with the addition of exogenous hormones
