Addressing transgender health in a Lancet Series and in The Lancet Psychiatry1 constitutes a milestone for health professionals and social scientists. I draw conclusions from some of these papers on how we consider health, disease, and gender, and on the purpose of the nomenclatures we have developed and use.

Mots clés: Transgender; Health professionals; Social scientists

Domaines: Sociologie
