challenges faced by these patients, barriers to care,
communication strategies, and steps to create a
welcoming office environment.
Pronoun Usage and Respectful Communication
Respecting a patient's gender identity starts with
using appropriate pronouns. When interacting with
transgender patients, it is essential to ask for and use

their preferred pronouns. A gender-neutral pronoun
does not associate an individual with a specific
gender. The singular they is unassuming, all inclusive,
and can be used to refer to anyone.5
Avoid making
assumptions based on appearance or previous
records. Demonstrating respect and using correct
pronouns is a crucial step in creating a safe and
inclusive environment.

Creating a Welcoming Environment for Transgender Patients6-7
Best Practices
Avoid using gender-specific terms such as sir
or ma'am. If There's a record of the preferred
name used by the patient, use it instead of
pronouns.
Politely ask if you are unsure about a patient's
name or the correct pronoun to use.
Ask respectfully about names if they do not
match in the records.
If you make a mistake, politely apologize.
Ask only for information that is necessary for
providing care.
Helpful Examples

" Max is here for a 1 o'clock appointment. "
" What name would you like us to use and
what pronoun? "
" I would like to be respectful. How would
you like to be addressed? "
" Could your chart be under another
name? "
" I apologize for using the wrong pronoun.
I did not mean to be disrespectful. How
would you like to be addressed? "
" What do I need to know? "
" How can I ask in a sensitive and respectful
way? "
