Abstract
<h4>Abstract</h4>More than 1.6 million US adults identify as transgender (that is, a gender different than the one traditionally associated with the biologic sex assigned to them at birth). These patients suffer from healthcare inequity and lack of access to healthcare, causing a public health crisis. This article seeks to raise awareness of this issue and encourage clinicians and healthcare systems to make meaningful changes to reduce healthcare stigma for transgender patients.
