Abstract
Efforts to improve trans ED experiences should focus on provider competency and communication training, electronic medical record modifications, and assurance of private means for gender disclosure. Future research directions include quantifying the frequency of care avoidance, the effect of avoidance on trans patient morbidity and mortality, and comparing ED patient outcomes by gender identity. Further research with increased inclusion of transwomen and people of color is needed to identify themes that may not have been raised in this preliminary investigation.
