The Transgender Inclusion Policy (World Professional Association for Transgender Health)

The Transgender Inclusion Policy by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) promotes respectful, equitable healthcare for transgender individuals. It encourages healthcare providers to recognize and affirm gender identities, ensuring access to appropriate services like hormone therapy, mental health support, and surgeries when needed. The policy emphasizes understanding transgender experiences, reducing stigma, and protecting rights within medical, legal, and social systems. Its goal is to foster an inclusive environment that supports the health, well-being, and dignity of all transgender people through evidence-based practices and respectful communication.
