Abstract
There are some unique aspects to providing trauma-informed reproductive care to transgender and nonbinary people, who are affected by minority stress, stigma, and particular forms of trauma; we review the evidence and suggest strategies for the provision of trauma-informed reproductive care to gender minorities. Stigma and minority stress affect the health of transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) people, leading to disparities across a range of outcomes. Barriers to accessing care, including reproductive care, further complicate these health disparities. Interpersonal stigma within the healthcare system, and high rates of physical and sexual violence survivorship, make TGNB people particularly vulnerable to healthcare trauma and poor care. This is particularly true among TGNB people with multiple intersecting marginalized identities. Trauma-informed care provides a framework for medical practitioners to provide safe, holistic, and sensitive care. Scant academic literature discusses trauma-informed reproductive care for TGNB individuals. We present a narrative review of the evidence for trauma-informed reproductive care for TGNB people and suggest potential application and implementation.
