Abstract
An estimated 1.4 million transgender adults live in the United States; this equates to approximately 0.6% of the U.S. population (Lane et al., 2018). Clinical focus on gender dysphoria has significantly increased over the past 30 years (MacCarthy, Reisner, Nunn, Perez-Brumer, & Operario, 2015), with burgeoning evidence from across disciplines documenting the positive outcomes associated with gender-affirming interventions. The purpose of this article is to illustrate how RNs optimize psychosocial, hormonal, and surgical gender-affirming care through performing comprehensive assessments, coordinating care, and providing education and health coaching.
