Abstrakt:	Although recent changes in health care delivery have improved routine and gender-affirming care for transgender people, common approaches to care are still often based on a binary (i.e., male/female) gender framework that can make patients with gender-nonconforming (GNC) identities and expressions feel marginalized. Binary representation perpetuates invisibility, discrimination, and victimization--and subsequent poorer health--among GNC patients. In response, clinicians and health care systems should extend their efforts to provide genderaffirming and responsible care to GNC people. This article reviews terminology related to gender, the limited research--and necessary directions for future research--on GNC communities, and provides strategies for health care professionals and systems to ensure provision of gender-affirming and responsible care to GNC patients.
