The transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) population is a significant minority, comprising at least 0.6% of the population. Visibility is growing rapidly, especially in younger generations. Gender affirming health care must adapt to this population's needs. Demographic data regarding TGNB health care are limited, but several disparities are clear, stemming from sociopolitical factors, such as external discrimination and insensitive and/or uninformed care. Most self-identifying TGNB patients receive some type of nonsurgical care, including hormonal and/or mental health. Gender-affirming surgery is highly prevalent as well, with at least one-quarter of TGNB people having had some combination of the procedures in this category.
跨性别和非二元性别者（TGNB）群体是一个重要的少数群体，至少占人口的 0.6%。他们的可见度正在迅速提高，尤其是在年轻一代中。性别肯定的医疗保健必须适应这一群体的需求。关于 TGNB 医疗保健的人口数据有限，但有几个差异是显而易见的，这些差异源于社会政治因素，如外部歧视以及不敏感和/或不知情的护理。大多数自我认同的 TGNB 患者接受某种非手术护理，包括激素和/或心理健康护理。性别肯定手术也非常普遍，至少有四分之一的 TGNB 人接受过此类手术中的某种组合。
