Abstract
Research shows that many healthcare professionals lack knowledge of the unique reproductive needs of trans and gender diverse people, leading to possible bias. This opens potential for reduced information sharing, lack of trust and disempowerment.1 Midwives are bound by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code2 to provide care to the best available evidence, keep up-to-date and maintain knowledge and skills to provide safe, holistic care. However, ‘transgender’ is not yet a health research analytic category. Thus, there is a poor evidence base, making it more challenging to understand trans-specific health concerns due to lack of data.3
