Dr. Yolanda Reid Chassiakos, assistant professor of pediatrics at UCLA, counsels doctors and medical students to get up-to-date information on gender identity issues. "Over the last 10 years," she writes, "substantial resources and training have become available that can help make every doctor's office a welcoming environment for patients with gender identity concerns."
