Gender-affirming healthcare for incarcerated transgender and gender diverse people: An international scoping review
Findings from this review highlight the need for consistent, adequate, trans-informed gender-affirming healthcare for all TGD people experiencing incarceration. TGD people frequently face institutional and interpersonal barriers when trying to access gender-affirming healthcare. There is a need for culturally-informed training for correctional staff and clear policies in correctional settings to ensure the delivery of adequate and gender-affirming healthcare.
