Abstract

Transgender persons need to regularly interact with health services and practitioners for both gender-transition purposes and routine care. Communication between clinicians and patients is a key element of health care. However, barriers to communication with transgender people in the health care context are usual. They typically include a lack of willingness among health staff to care for trans patients, an adherence to cisnormativity and misgendering by clinicians, and the existence of a displeasing climate during the interaction. Miscommunication generates a series of adverse consequences, including the avoidance of health care by patients and the social marginalization of transgender people. The implementation of novel health policies and organizational restructuring are important steps to create a safe environment for the trans population within health systems. Modification of administrative procedures as well as training and advice for health practitioners are also necessary to facilitate communication with trans people and improve health outcomes among this underprivileged population. The establishment of a society with equal rights among its members and a life without discriminations is the ultimate goal.

在医疗环境中与变性人沟通:临床视角。
变性人需要定期与医疗服务机构和从业人员进行互动,以实现性别转换和日常护理。临床医生和病人之间的沟通是医疗保健的关键要素。然而,在医疗保健中与变性人沟通的障碍是常见的。这些障碍通常包括医护人员缺乏照顾变性患者的意愿、临床医生对顺式规范化和错误性别的坚持,以及在互动过程中存在令人不快的气氛。沟通失误会产生一系列不良后果,包括病人回避医疗服务以及变性人被社会边缘化。实施新的医疗政策和组织结构调整是在医疗系统内为变性人创造安全环境的重要步骤。修改行政程序以及为医疗从业人员提供培训和建议也是促进与变性人沟通和改善这一弱势群体健康状况的必要条件。建立一个成员权利平等、没有歧视的社会是最终目标。
