When working with SOGIE (sexual orientation, gender identity and expression) issues, clinicians struggle to navigate how to ask appropriate questions to patients who identify as TGNC/NB (trans, gender nonconforming, nonbinary). This lecture is an introduction to definitions, some common language, and ways to provide more culturally-sensitive care to the TGNC/NB population.
