Trans and Gender Diversity

Home > Trans and Gender Diversity

Trans and gender-diverse people face significant barriers in accessing healthcare. Some of these barriers include discrimination, misgendering, and lack of provider knowledge. These experiences can lead to avoidance of care, poorer health outcomes, and increased psychological distress. By adopting trans-inclusive practices, primary care providers can execute enhanced gender-affirming care, foster trust, improve patient engagement, and deliver safer, more effective care.
