Résumé
Transgender (TG) people are individuals who experience an incongruity between their gender and the sex they were assigned at birth. Constituting 0.5%-2% of the population, TG individuals experience greater rates of discrimination, even in health care. Up to 23% of transgender people report having been refused basic medical care based on their gender identity, leading many to avoid seeking care. Familiarity of health care providers with TG issues and terminology has been shown to improve the experience of TG individuals in health care. This article aims to familiarize interventional radiologists with the TG community and provide actionable goals for creating an affirming, inclusive department.
