For transgender and non-binary patients,
ask about the presence of intact
reproductive organs and consider
gynecological (i.e., pregnancy issues) or
urological (i.e., testicular torsion) related

Culturally competent care for Transgender, Non-Binary and Intersex patients starts with respectful communication, understanding diverse identities, and awareness of medical and surgical options and their risks. Legal and medical processes are complex and individualized, and best practices emphasize dignity, accuracy, and respect for patient preferences1.
