Samenvatting:

A clear, practical guide to the ageing process for trans and/or non-binary individuals and the professionals supporting them. This book covers key issues including health and social care, planning for old age, wills and inheritance, as well as communication issues with family and professionals.

Drawing on the experiences of older trans people and those transitioning later in life, this is a definitive guide to ageing as a trans and/or non-binary person. It covers the key health concerns and social issues affecting older trans people, including care homes, pensions, inheritance and funeral planning, as well as hormone use and physical changes, isolation and dementia.

Kermode also provides guidance for professionals looking to better meet the needs of these individuals and highlights the important factors that need to be considered at an institutional level to provide the best care for people across the gender spectrum.
