Abstract

Medical research largely fails to consider or even acknowledge the existence of transgender and intersex people. This results in a lower likelihood of people, firstly, receiving appropriate medical care as the information to provide that care may not exist and, secondly, accessing medical care because they fear harm resulting from inappropriate medical treatments. This spotlight reviews how poorly recent medical research papers concerning gender have engaged with the realities, experiences, and needs of trans, intersex, and gender diverse people. The spotlight highlights the importance of using trans, intersex, and non-binary people’s expertise to improve this.
