Abstract
The healthcare needs of transgender patients are unique and not accounted for within dominant narratives of medical care. This article explores care challenges faced by two transgender individuals navigating healthcare systems and medical school curriculum in Canada. Medical education has a critical role to play in addressing the invisibility of gender and sexually diverse patients, and the inclusion of diverse patients' stories in medical education can help train emerging medical professionals to apply affirming lenses to their care practices and foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.

The journal is UK based but welcomes contributions from all over the world. Readers will benefit from the broader perspectives on educational activities provided through the contributions of all health professionals, including general practitioners, nurses, midwives, health visitors, community nurses and managers. This sharing of experiences has the potential for enhancing healthcare delivery and for promoting interprofessional working.
