abstract = {People whose gender does not correspond to the binary
gender system, i.e., trans∗gender people, face two main
problems when it comes to healthcare in Germany: (1) They
often suffer from general psychiatric comorbidities as well
as specific and significant mental distress due to gender
dysphoria, and (2) the German healthcare system lacks
sufficiently educated and clinically experienced medical
personnel who are able to provide specialized healthcare.
Aside from transition, it often is extremely difficult for
trans∗gender people to get access to and be integrated
into the medical system. Stigmatization and pathologization
in treatment are widespread, as are long waiting times for
specialized healthcare providers who are often only
accessible to those trans∗gender people willing to travel
long distances. Frequently, trans∗gender people face
further difficulties and barriers after transition, as some
healthcare professionals fail to provide suitable care
(e.g., gynecological consultation for transmen). The ICD-11
German Modification (ICD-11-GM), which should be routinely
used by 2022, implements a depathologization of
trans∗gender people in the medical system. This paper
compares the issues related to health and healthcare of
trans∗gender people in Germany with those in other
European countries. We review the care offered by
specialized centers with regard to treatment of and support
for trans∗gender people. We conclude with specific
proposals that may contribute to establish an improved,
up-to-date, gender-sensitive healthcare system.},
