This is one of several editorials and position papers that has been published during the past year. It originates from the North American Pediatric Endocrine Society and its special interest group for transgender health. This article is of value for pediatricians dealing with any aspect of transgender health in children and adolescents as it provides a good source of relevant definitions, information and references to the latest literature as a basis to deliver the best medical care. There is still a weak evidence base for our decisions in this field, but it seems clear that an affirmative approach in the management of transgender youth is of great importance. Several additional position papers and editorials worth reading have also been published during the past year, see, e.g., Barret J; Chipkin S. et al.).
