8% reported having a kidney or urinary tract infection, or another kidney related medical issue, because they avoided restrooms.
Trans patients report being verbally harassed and even refused treatment on a regular basis. Recently Manobi Bandyopadhyay, India’s first transgender college principal, was denied an RT-PCR test and called “mental” by the hospital staff at a government hospital in Kolkata.
The biggest barrier to healthcare reported by transgender individuals is lack of healthcare providers who are sufficiently knowledgeable on trans health. Are our providers culturally competent to be dealing with queer and trans patients?
