the proposed icd 11 gender incongruence of childhood diagnosis a world Professional Association for transgender health membership survey
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2016Co-Authors: Sam Winter, Griet De Cuypere, Jamison Green, Robert Kane, Gail KnudsonAbstract:ICD-11 (the eleventh edition of the World Health Organization International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) is due for approval in 2018. For transgender health care, the most important proposals for ICD-11 are as follows: (1) the five ICD-10 diagnoses (most notably Transsexualism and Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood) currently in Chapter 5 (Mental and Behavioural Disorders) will be replaced by two Gender Incongruence diagnoses, one of Adolescence and Adulthood and the other of Childhood (GIC), and (2) these two diagnoses will be located in a new chapter provisionally named Conditions Related to Sexual Health. Debate on the GIC proposal has focused on whether there should be a diagnosis for young children exploring their identity and has drawn on a number of arguments for and against the proposal. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health conducted a survey to examine members’ views concerning the GIC proposal, as well as an alternative framework employing non-pathologizing Z Codes. The survey was completed by 241 (32.6 %) out of 740 members. Findings indicated an even split among members regarding the GIC proposal (51.0 % [n = 123] opposing and 47.7 % [n = 115] supporting the proposal). However, non-US members were overall opposed to the proposal (63.9 % [n = 46] opposing, 36.1 % [n = 26] supporting). Across the sample as a whole, and among those expressing a view about Z Codes, there was substantial support for their use in healthcare provision for children with gender issues (35.7 % [n = 86] of the sample supporting vs. 8.3 % [n = 20] rejecting).

recommendations for revision of the dsm diagnoses of gender identity disorders consensus statement of the world Professional Association for transgender health
International Journal of Transgenderism, 2010Co-Authors: Gail Knudson, Griet De Cuypere, Walter O BocktingAbstract:This consensus statement is an executive summary of several papers resulting from a 2009 consensus process comprising nine work groups and 37 members of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The purpose of this group was to put forth recommendations for the upcoming revision of the DSM with respect to the Gender Identity Disorder diagnoses. The consensus process was collaborative, interdisciplinary, and evidence based. A majority (but not all) of the participants believed that a diagnosis related to Gender Identity Disorder should remain in the DSM, and many advocated changes in name, diagnostic criteria, and placement within the DSM. The proposed name is Gender Dysphoria, and the diagnostic criteria should be distress based. Placement should be outside the chapter on Sexual Disorders and possibly within Psychiatric Disorders Related to a Medical Condition. If there were to be a diagnostic category for childhood, there should also be separate categories for adults and adolesce...

process toward consensus on recommendations for revision of the dsm diagnoses of gender identity disorders by the world Professional Association for transgender health
International Journal of Transgenderism, 2010Co-Authors: Gail Knudson, Griet De Cuypere, Walter O BocktingAbstract:The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is recognized as the leading authority in the field of transgender health, through a membership that encompasses experts in this field and transgender community representatives. WPATH therefore is in an excellent position to give input on the DSM 5 section on gender identity disorders. To streamline the ideas of the membership, the authors, all elected officers of the Association, organized a consensus-building process beginning January 2009 to arrive at recommendations for removal or reform of the DSM 5 diagnoses. This article describes this process, how the various work groups were formed, and the topics covered in the work group discussions. In addition, this article reports on a face-to-face meeting held with all of the consensus participants and work groups in conjunction with the 2009 biennial conference of WPATH in Oslo, Norway, where a consensus was reached on several issues. The outcome of this face-to-face meeting was subsequently...

electronic medical records and the transgender patient recommendations from the world Professional Association for transgender health emr working group
Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 2013Co-Authors: Madeline B Deutsch, Jamison Green, Joanne Keatley, Gal Mayer, Jennifer Hastings, Alexandra M HallAbstract:Transgender patients have particular needs with respect to demographic information and health records; specifically, transgender patients may have a chosen name and gender identity that differs from their current legally designated name and sex. Additionally, sex-specific health information, for example, a man with a cervix or a woman with a prostate, requires special attention in electronic health record (EHR) systems. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is an international multidisciplinary Professional Association that publishes recognized standards for the care of transgender and gender variant persons. In September 2011, the WPATH Executive Committee convened an Electronic Medical Records Working Group comprised of both expert clinicians and medical information technology specialists, to make recommendations for developers, vendors, and users of EHR systems with respect to transgender patients. These recommendations and supporting rationale are presented here.
