This article aims to make a case for the need to sensitize the medical community on the importance of providing sexual health information in the care of intersex adolescents and young adults for whom sexuality and intimacy are sensitive subjects-and to go beyond a narrow focus on surgical outcomes. For this purpose, this article gives voice to the lived experience of "Emma," a young adult who identifies as intersex. Setting up strong collaboration between medical teams and intersex support groups might be the best way forward to provide high-quality care to youth born with variations of sex characteristics.
本文旨在呼吁医学界重视为跨性别青少年和年轻人提供性健康信息的重要性,因为性和亲密关系对他们来说是敏感话题——不能仅仅关注手术结果。为此,本文讲述了一位自认为是跨性别的年轻人“艾玛”的真实生活经历。在医疗团队和跨性别支持组织之间建立强有力的合作关系,可能是为具有性别特征差异的年轻人提供优质护理的最佳途径。
