TL;DR: Kidd et al. as mentioned in this paper found that 1.8% of US high school students identify as "transgender" and that the question assessing gender identity (Do you identify as transgender?) likely underrepresents the prevalence of GDY because many do not identify with the word 'transgender' and recommend a 2-step question: (1) What was your sex assigned at birth? (2) Which of the following best describes your gender identity?

TL;DR: In this convenience sample, parents and caregivers overwhelmingly expressed fear that the proposed legislation will lead to worsening mental health and increased suicidal ideation for their TGDY.

TL;DR: Examination of transgender youths' interest in receiving gender-affirming care via telemedicine or through primary care with telehealth support found many transgender youth expressed interest in receive gender care viatelehealth, particularly for ongoing care and monitoring.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate what providers who deliver gender-affirming medical care to TGDY think about this legislation and find that the most salient theme described by nearly all participants was the fear that such legislation would lead to worsening mental health including increased risk for suicides among TGDYS.

TL;DR: A clear need exists for increased training in transgender health care among physicians taking care of this patient population, and a gender divide exists among health care providers within West Virginia over attitudes regarding the transgender community.
