The following library is drawn from the current best evidence-based practice on transgender care and includes links to systematic reviews.
This library also includes unpublished research data, guides, views and
opinions based on Transgender
Zone research.
Over 5500 potentially relevant journal
articles are read every year.
To accomplish this him or herself, a clinician would have to read 15
articles each and every day every year ...
If the clinician only managed to read two articles every day, after two
years, the clinician would have to have a 10-year backlog. After 20 years,
the backlog would take over 100 years to read!
