Miller

Dr. Liz Miller's recent research shows that nonbinary and transmasculine adolescents are experiencing more non-affirming health care experiences than transfeminine adolescents. These negative and non-affirming experiences create health care and well visit avoidance. Healthcare systems need to address their disrespect and refusal of care as well as proactively train and educate their providers to support the transcommunity with competent and affirming care.
