Trans people with dementia are particularly vulnerable, given that they may regress and forget they have transitioned and find their own anatomy or dress alien and frightening. «This can result in them becoming very disoriented and anxious», Sean Page, a consultant nurse for dementia at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, told BBC News. «They may not understand why they are being referred to as being a certain gender as they cannot recall publicly voicing this preference.» Such challenges will only become greater as the openly trans population continues to grow in both size and age.
