A concise definition, the central clinical pattern and the decisions that should be recognised quickly.

Gender identity and supportive care
This route reserves the topic's place in the full curriculum and shows exactly what the finished chapter is expected to contain. It does not substitute a placeholder summary for clinically reviewed teaching.
This is a curriculum-level production page. Until a clinically approved chapter is published, use current NICE guidance, the BNF and your organisation's active clinical systems for patient care.

Enough underlying science to explain the presentation and separate plausible alternatives.
Investigation strategy
How tests change probability, including common interpretation errors and important limitations.

A practical sequence anchored to current national guidance, with uncertainty made explicit.
Prescribing and safety
Typical treatment choices, contraindications, monitoring and a route to the current BNF where relevant.
