Abstract
There is little research at the international level to help us understand the experiences and needs of trans people living with dementia, despite population aging and the growing numbers of trans people including the first cohort of trans older adults. There is a need to understand the widespread barriers, discrimination and mistreatment faced by trans people in the health and social service system, and the fears trans people express about aging and dementia. Anecdotal evidence from the scarce literature on the topic of LGBTQ populations and dementia suggest that cognitive changes can impact on gender identity. For example, trans older adults with dementia may forget they transitioned and reidentify with their sex/gender assigned at birth or may experience ‘gender confusion.’ [...]
Trans people with Alzheimer's may wake up screaming that they're missing body parts. Which makes no sense if it's "innate" and their body has been reconfigured to their supposedly-innate "gender identity."
But gay people with Alzheimer's don't forget they're gay.
