Trauma-informed reproductive care for transgender and nonbinary people.

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
