The LGBT Clinic in Macaé (RJ) operates daily to provide health care for LGBTQIA+ people. This service is part of a network, including the Pedro Ernesto University Hospital and the Casa de Convivência clinic. The service has predominantly served transvestites and transgender people. This study aimed to investigate how trans people access the LGBT Clinic in Macaé. We sought to discuss gender issues, as LGBTQIA+ people have increasingly arrived at health clinics with specific demands, which creates the need for improvement for such a public. This qualitative research was conducted with thirteen users of the LGBT Clinic who self-declared transgender. As a result, several cases were confirmed in which the populations studied did not find adequate help in other health services. Furthermore, the LGBT Clinic was provenly a receptive healthcare space for trans and transvestite people in the region
