Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals trans and gender non-conforming participants face greater healthcare inequities, suggesting urgent need for improved cultural competency among providers.

Key Points

  • Trans and gender non-conforming participants reported more negative perceptions of healthcare experiences than cisgender peers, highlighting systemic inequities.
  • Over half of trans and gender non-conforming participants educated healthcare professionals about LGBTQI+ identities, indicating a lack of provider knowledge.
  • Cisnormative thinking exists in healthcare practice, contributing to significant barriers for trans and gender non-conforming individuals needing care.
  • Culturally responsive healthcare is essential for addressing health inequities and improving outcomes for trans and gender non-conforming populations.
