Dr. Norman Spack, an endocrinologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, helped revolutionize treatment for transgender teens. In 2007, he co-founded the hospital’s Gender Management Service clinic, the first pediatric clinic of its kind in the U.S. that treats transgender teenagers by delaying the effects of puberty. Spack has spoken widely on health care for transgender youth and has campaigned for law reform in several states to protect transgender people against hate crimes and discrimination. Listen to his TED talk, “How I help transgender teens become who they want to be.”
