    AbstractTransgender and gender-diverse youth represent approximately 2% of all youth in the United States. Given that gender diversity usually develops during childhood and adolescence, primary care providers must be equipped to recognize and support youth exploring gender identity or experiencing gender dysphoria. This article provides an overview of gender diversity and reviews strategies for creating a welcoming clinical space, discussing gender during the office visit, providing affirming primary care, and supporting youth and their families during gender identity exploration and gender transition.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
