@CHP_APP Also urban settings tend to have more diversity - highlighting the fact that gender diversity exists in youth of color just as much as in white youth- and further highlighting the care gap.

@WhitPAC @CHP_APP Yes - I do this as well. Just yesterday , I DIDN’T and assumed for one of my patients and she had to correct me. I’m thankful she felt safe correcting me, but many may not feel comfortable doing so. Never assume!

[Laura Lynch @LauraLynchPAC]

@CHP_APP And make sure you let your patients know WHY you’re asking, so they don’t just think you’re being nosy!

[Laura Lynch @LauraLynchPAC]

@CHP_APP Educate, advocate, and normalize the convo! Always ask name/pronouns. Ask me any questions via email , at any time :) #tweetnlearn

@CHP_APP Q2) those seeking medical care tend to be white and masculine identifying. GDY of color may not seek care for many reasons, but systemic racism certainly plays a role, as do cultural norms and access to care in general #tweetnlearn

@CHP_APP Q1) many gdy don’t id as “transgender”. This study addressed this by asking the question differently to capture all gender diversity. #tweetnlearn
