A survey by the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which included more than 6,000 transgender and gender diverse people from across the U.S., found that transgender people are disproportionately living in poverty and nearly four times more likely to have a household income of less than $10,000/year than the general population. Another staggering statistic from that same survey is that 41% of transgender and gender diverse individuals reported attempting suicide. And these are just some of the daunting statistics. Today on ‘About Health,’ host David B. Feldman speaks with Ben Geilhufe, psychotherapist and Director of Community-based Clinical Programs for the UCSF Child and Adolescent Gender Center. We talk about the struggles transgender and gender diverse individuals face, how these struggles can impact people’s health and well-being, as well as the challenge of finding compassionate, affirming care.
