Abstract
ABSTRACTThe following manuscript explores trans individuals’ lived experiences with practitioners and the types of advice they suggested be provided to practitioners treating trans patients to improve the trans-patient–practitioner relationship. Thirteen semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with individuals who self-identified as trans. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Owen, 1984). Data analysis revealed that changes in practitioner’s communication behavior during office visits as well as modifications to office logistics and e-health particulars would contribute to a healthy communication environment. Interviewees explained that these variations may potentially improve trans-patient–practitioner communication. We conclude by offering practical and theoretical implications as well as areas of future research for trans health communication.
