Facial procedures directed at gender affirmation are uniquely tailored to the individual patient and may affect soft tissue and skeletal structures over the entire face-from the chin through the upper forehead. Complete photographic and radiographic documentation that addresses these areas is important from the perspectives of surgical planning, evaluation of outcomes, research purposes, and communication between patient and provider, and amongst treating professionals. This work outlines pertinent skeletal anatomy that is uniquely addressed in gender affirmation procedures and means by which it can be effectively imaged. It provides historical insight into the evolution of computerized-tomography-based imaging. The authors provide detailed protocols for photodocumentation and computerized-tomography based skeletal imaging at their center.

Department of Surgery, Section of Urology, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, NH 03756, United States.
Background: Understanding patient goals for metoidioplasty and phalloplasty gender-affirming surgery (MaPGAS) is paramount to achieving satisfactory, preference-sensitive outcomes, yet there is a lack of understanding of MaPGAS priorities and how these may vary between transgender men and non-binary individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB).
Aim: To understand the surgical goals of transgender men and non-binary individuals AFAB considering MaPGAS.
Methods: An online survey was created following literature review and qualitative interviews and distributed via social media and a community health center to participants AFAB aged ≥18 years who had considered but not yet undergone MaPGAS.

University of Saskatchewan, School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
Purpose: People who are transgender or gender diverse (PTGD) often experience difficulties navigating the health care system due to a variety of factors such as lack of knowledgeable and/or culturally competent clinicians, discrimination, and structural and/or socioeconomic barriers. We sought to determine whether a peer health navigator service in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan helped connect transgender and gender-diverse clients and health care practitioners (HCPs) to resources, and how this service changed their health care experiences.
Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 9 clients and 9 HCPs.

Background: Smoking rates have declined markedly in Australia over time; however, lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) women continue to smoke at higher rates than heterosexual women. Understanding the factors influencing smoking in this population is crucial for developing targeted cessation interventions and other supports.
Methods: Experiences of and motivations for smoking among 42 LBQ cisgender and transgender women and non-binary people in Australia who currently or previously smoked were explored through semi-structured interviews.

Pure ductal-type mesonephric remnants in the uterine cervix are rare. We report an unusual case in a 31-yr-old of cervical mesonephric remnants of predominantly ductal type exhibiting seminal vesicle-like differentiation in a female-to-male transgender patient receiving long-term testosterone therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been previously reported.
