Trans and Gender Diverse Ageing in Care Contexts cover

Gender diversity and non-conformity are becoming increasingly visible within society. As more trans and non-binary service users ‘come out’ and trans populations age, practitioners and service providers working in health care, social care, welfare services and housing, will begin to see a growing number of older gender-diverse service users.

With contributions from trans and non-binary scholars and practitioners and those with lived experience, this book outlines what good care and support looks like for older trans and non-binary people. This book provides a range of reflective learning activities that can be used by educators, policy makers and practitioners in healthcare, social care, public and community services to develop their knowledge and skills to ensure their practice is affirmative and inclusive.

“This book provides vital insights into what it means to support, listen to and advocate alongside trans people as they age. With comprehensive coverage of a diversity of topics, this book will be a vital asset to researchers, practitioners and policy makers.” Damien W. Riggs, Flinders University
