While these issues may not apply to everyone, they are important for everyone and their health providers to consider.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2>Barriers to Health Care<\/h2><\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Some transgender people may not consult health care services because they have had negative experiences with doctors in the past. For that reason, organizations such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpath.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)<\/a> have created resources to help transgender people find knowledgeable, supportive, caring and compassionate providers in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>For the best care possible, people should feel empowered to take an active role in their health by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Voicing concerns if something doesn\u2019t seem right.<\/li>\n<li>Asking questions if they are unsure about any information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Being forthcoming about any medications and past surgeries, as these may affect treatment plans and preventive care options.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2>Transgender Violence<\/h2><\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Transgender and gender-expansive people face a disproportionately high risk of physical and sexual violence in our society, much of which is motivated by hate or fear, and stems from a lack of understanding and acceptance. This violence can be perpetrated by loved ones, family and friends, or strangers, and can occur in the home, school, workplace or on the street.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2><strong>Intimate Partner Violence<\/strong><\/h2><\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Intimate partner violence (sometimes called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/domestic-violence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">domestic violence<\/a>) involves physical or emotional harm by a significant other \u2014 usually a partner, spouse or date. Typically, intimate partner violence begins with verbal threats and escalates to physical abuse, which is why it\u2019s important to recognize it early and get help as soon as possible. Intimate partner violence often involves manipulation and control.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the barriers faced by gender-expansive survivors of intimate partner violence include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access to support services.<\/li>\n<li>Lack of training on the part of service providers.<\/li>\n<li>Discrimination in shelters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence has information on services and organizations that are inclusive and supportive of trans survivors.<\/p>\n<p>Research suggests that gender non-conforming people face intimate partner violence at much higher rates than other adults, but victims may be hesitant to seek help because they fear discrimination from law enforcement and health care providers. Sadly, not all intimate partner violence resources accommodate transgender and gender-expansive people, but specific assistance is available in certain areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2>Workplace Discrimination<\/h2><\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Twenty-six percent of transgender and gender-expansive adults report being fired because of their identity. Because gender non-conforming people face such extreme job discrimination, some may turn to sex work as a last resort. This puts them at far greater risk of physical and sexual violence.
