ABSTRACT
Trans people have diverse life experiences which may include gender-affirming care (GAC). GAC positively impacts the quality of life of trans adults. However, they are often met with barriers to care and are particularly vulnerable within the healthcare system. The needs and expectations surrounding GAC may vary between individual patients. This article aims to analyze trans adults' perceptions, expectations, and recommendations on GAC. Twenty-seven semi-structured interviews were conducted by a team of academic and peer researchers; transcribed interviews were then analyzed using a codebook and thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified; the liberating experience of GAC; the uneven distribution of knowledge and power between patients and providers; and the recommended practices in GAC. Additional training and research are necessary to facilitate high-quality care for trans adults accessing GAC.
