The purpose of this paper is to utilize virtue ethics as the appropriate paradigm by which to improve health care delivery to transgender individuals. Health disparities for transgender individuals occur external to the medical environment as well as internal to the medical profession. A commitment to virtue ethics should be undertaken to improve the care to transgender individuals.In this manuscript I call on virtue ethics to address the intersectionality of such environmental structures for the promotion of the good of the patient as per the telos of medicine by Edmund Pellegrino, consistent with the eudaimonia of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Virtue ethics is the appropriate paradigm for which bioethics can address the framework that poses barriers to access to health care and maintenance of health through a lack of competent, knowledgeable and compassionate providers for the transgender population.Further, I pose that ascribing to improving the care to the individual transgender patient involves a call to action to overcome social ecological spheres of influence that are affecting the health of the individual and thereby the population of the transgender individuals as a whole. Through virtue ethics, the virtuous physician improves the health of the transgender individual and the character of themselves and the profession of medicine.

美德和对学习的承诺：克服跨性别者面临的差距。

本文的目的是利用美德伦理学作为适当的范例，通过该范例来改善向跨性别者提供的医疗保健服务。跨性别者的健康差异不仅发生在医疗环境的外部，也发生在医疗行业的内部。应该对美德伦理作出承诺，以改善对跨性别者的照顾。在本文中，我呼吁美德伦理按照埃德蒙·佩莱格里诺（Edmund Pellegrino）的医学观点，解决这种环境结构的相互影响，以促进患者的利益。 ，与亚里士多德的《尼科马奇伦理学》中的大自然相吻合。美德伦理学是适当的范式，生物伦理学可以针对这种范式解决由于缺乏能力，缺乏能力而无法获得医疗保健和维持健康的框架。此外，我提出，要改善对跨性别患者的护理，需要采取行动，以克服影响个人健康并进而影响其健康的社会生态影响领域。跨性别个体整体。通过美德伦理，这位贤良的医师改善了变性者的健康状况，自身特征和医学专业。我提出，改善对跨性别个体患者的照护涉及呼吁采取行动，以克服影响个体健康乃至整个跨性别个体人口的社会生态影响领域。通过美德伦理，这位贤良的医师改善了变性者的健康，自身的性格和医学专业。我提出，改善对跨性别个体患者的照护涉及呼吁采取行动，以克服影响个体健康乃至整个跨性别个体人口的社会生态影响领域。通过美德伦理，这位贤良的医师改善了变性者的健康，自身的性格和医学专业。
