Abstract
Navigating health care as a transgender adolescent presents a multitude of unique challenges that warrant careful consideration. Transgender individuals often encounter barriers such as a lack of knowledgeable health care providers, limited access to gender-affirming care, and concerns about confidentiality, safety, and acceptance. This case report of a transgender male with a history of a urinary tract infection examines the issues facing transgender adolescents in their pursuit of appropriate and sensitive health care and the need for normalizing gender-affirming medical care.
