In this study, we examine qualitative data from 73 transgender adults. We present the information our participants shared about their experiences navigating health care systems (i.e., medical health, mental health, other providers). Four themes emerged. First, participants indicated that they wanted health care providers to be more aware of transgender-specific terminology, identities, and experiences. Second, participants were concerned that health care providers blame their medical transition for unrelated health concerns. Third, participants said they did not want health care providers to probe transgender patients about their transitions. Fourth, they reported that they wanted health care providers to treat transgender patients as individuals rather than a monolith. Our research has implications for mental health providers because they benefit from understanding the health care barriers experienced by their transgender patients, in mental health and other health realms. This will allow mental health providers to better support their patients as well as bolster support from loved ones
