Tip Sheet: Providing Inclusive, Affirming and Safer Perinatal Care to 2SLGBTQIA+ Individuals

The perinatal period uniquely impacts the mental health and wellbeing of 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Previous or anticipated experiences of discrimination and invisibility, in addition to system-level inequities, can affect trust in perinatal healthcare providers and the broader healthcare system. Released in March 2023, PCMCH’s Providing Inclusive, Affirming and Safer Perinatal Care to 2SLGBTQIA+ Individuals tip sheet features evidence-based information, practical examples and a list of continuing education opportunities to promote ongoing learning and training. The tip sheet was developed in collaboration with 2SLGBTQIA+ people with lived perinatal care experience and healthcare providers, as well as in consultation with PCMCH’s Maternal-Newborn Committee.

Guidelines for gender-affirming primary care with trans and non-binary patients

Given the spectrum of gender identity and the variation in each person’s expression, there is no single pathway for a trans person to follow in order to actualize the presentation of their authentic self. Non-binary patients may also seek hormone therapy to modify their secondary sex characteristics. When hormones are chosen as part of transition, some patients may seek maximum feminization/ masculinization, while others may seek a more androgynous appearance.

This quick reference guide was derived from Sherbourne’s Guidelines for Gender-Affirming Primary Care with Trans and Non-Binary Patients and is designed to be used in conjunction with the full Guidelines.
