Access to gender-specific health care remains difficult for transgender and non-binary youth. An understanding of the complexity of this healthcare navigation by healthcare professionals may help to mitigate future negative experiences. This study explores some of the clinical considerations that arise for this population from provider perspectives while elucidating the experiences of youth and parents attempting to access care. Further research is needed on longitudinal outcomes following medical and surgical interventions for transgender youth, including nonbinary identities.
