"Transgender people have been a part of the LGBT movement from its beginnings. As people began to see their sexual orientation as a health part of their identity, and found the prejudice they faced oppressive, they found common cause with those who expressed their gender identity differently than the majority of society."

This guide will provide practical ideas for how LGBT organizations can take concrete steps to providing a more welcoming environment for transgender people. It will also directly address the challenges and opportunities that arise in this process. This resource is specifically written for LGBT groups and organizations that want to be more inclusive of transgender people.

This article focuses on the characteristics, research needs and barriers, service needs and barriers, clinical implications, and suggestions for appropriate treatment to increase awareness of clinical gerontologists who may not be familiar with LGBT seniors or who wish to improve their services to this population. Gerontologists working in long-term care facilities and those working in social and home care services may be especially interested in the special concerns of transgender elders and the recent changes in public policy regarding all LGBT elders.
