Abstract In the early seventies, a gender service for transgender and gender-diverse adults was started in the VU medical center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since the beginning of the 2000s, Dutch clinicians have expanded care for transgender individuals and started to use puberty suppression for transgender and gender-diverse adolescents. In 2006, a first version of the so-called Dutch approach was published.1 This approach has been further developed and has now become the standard approach for transgender adolescents in many countries around the world.2 What is the Dutch approach and how is care for transgender youth currently administered in the Netherlands? In the first part of this lecture, Dr. van der Miesen will discuss the origins of the Dutch approach as well as the scientific evidence. In addition, clinical challenges regarding capacity to consent and mental health of transgender adolescents will be discussed. In the second part of the lecture Dr. Lai will elaborate on the common intersections of sexual and gender diversity and autism (as well as other forms of neurodivergence, which is less known so far based on available data). Multiple studies have identified a significant over-representation of autism among transgender and gender-diverse children, adolescents and adults. Estimates suggest that up to 22.5% of transgender adolescents are autistic and there is an over-representation of transgender identities among autistic people. In this lecture, prevalence rates of the intersection and suggested underlying hypotheses will be reviewed. In addition, as the intersection of gender diversity and neurodivergence might come with specific needs in assessment and treatment of gender diverse individuals,3,4 clinical implications of working with individuals and their families at the intersection will be discussed. 王雅青 臺灣多元性別文化照護 Culturally competent care for LGBT patients in Taiwan 摘要 本課程主要為了解臺灣多元性別文化照護，內容包含(1)臺灣多元性別群體生理 與心理健康議題與照護需求;(2)臺灣多元性別文化照護現況與醫護人員提供多元 性別文化照護之教育需求;(3)多元性別文化照護原則;以及(4)多元性別文化照護 知識與技巧。在多元性別文化照護知識與技巧中，進一步介紹良好溝通模式建 立、隱私權維護與多元性別友善環境建構，以期提升醫護人員多元性別文化照 護之能力，降低群體健康差距。 徐志雲 中英文講題： 兒少跨性別的在地實務經驗：臨床、家庭與社群文化 Local practice experiences of transgender children and adolescents: the perspectives of clinical practice, family and community culture. 講綱： 1. 跨性別社群基本名詞介紹 2. 台灣跨性別社群文化 3. 兒童青少年跨性別的臨床評估與在地挑戰 4. 台灣兒少跨性別的家庭與親子關係 5. 台灣兒少跨性別的校園與社會處境
