The Australian Psychological Society (APS) releases a new position statement supporting gender affirming care

7. The APS Position

The APS:

7.1 Strongly endorses respect and acknowledges the experiences of all individuals and their right to a gender and its expression.

7.2 Strongly advocates that all health care, including psychological care, should be provided free of discrimination.

7.5 Recognises the importance of transgender and gender diverse people’s voices. The APS will actively consult with and promote the work of transgender and gender diverse people, as well as with psychologists and relevant Australian health organisations and peak bodies with expertise in this area.

7.6 Will work to ensure that psychologists at all levels, including students, can access high quality academic training, ongoing professional development and supervision that develops knowledge, competency and skills in responding to the needs of transgender and gender diverse people.

7.7 Advocates for more research, including the best approaches to working with transgender and gender diverse people.

7.8 Will inform members of relevant advancements in the field.

7.9 Will endeavour to support members to develop psychological practice in emerging areas related to transgender and gender diverse people’s lives.

7.10 Supports community and government efforts to increase the healthcare and support of transgender and gender diverse people and initiatives that minimise harm and stigmatisation

Journal Club: A Genuine Broad Study of the Effects of HRT

Mental healthcare use tended to rise around the point when people began hormone therapy, a finding the authors say likely reflects the assessments, support, and clinical engagement often required at that stage.
