Details

Young trans and gender diverse people of colour report negative experiences of healthcare systems (James et al., 2016) due to discrimination and lack of understanding. Studies have shown that accessing gender healthcare is difficult for this group (TransActual, 2021) which may be due to factors within healthcare as well as cultural barriers. 

This study aimed to foreground young trans and gender diverse people of colour’s experiences of the barriers to accessing gender healthcare and explore the resulting impact of these.
