“…There is a shifting sociocultural climate in the US focused on increasing diversity and gender equality (Carabez, Pellegrini, Mankovitz, Eliason, & Scott, ; Dellinger & Williams, ). However, participants in this study believed there is a worn‐out narrative that men should become physicians and women nurses.…”

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the lived experiences of male nurses in today's healthcare environment to understand the persistently low numbers of men in nursing. Design This study used interpretive description methodology, which aligns with nursing's approach to knowledge discovery by acknowledging the evolution and complexity of shared and individual experiences. Methods Participants, (N = 11), were recruited through the American Association for Men in Nursing using purposive sampling. Focused interviews were conducted between May 2018 – June 2018. Interviews were semi‐structured, guided by open‐ended questions and video and audio recorded. Data were analysed according to study design with categories and themes extracted using reliability measures. Results This study's findings reflected the unique experiences of each participant in a primarily female dominated work environment in clinical and academic settings. Our study identified thematic categories of role expectations and workplace relations for the men in the study. Role expectations were influenced by sociocultural views, professional acceptance and patient/family perceptions. Workplace relations were associated with being male, social cliques and peer support. Conclusion Participants shared similar and distinctly individual experiences. Findings from this study indicate there has been progress toward improving male presence in nursing but additional efforts are needed to increase inclusivity. Findings can be used to make recommendations for professional change in nursing, strengthen diversity by refining ways to recruit more men, enhance patients' experiences and improve experiences for future male nurses. Impact This study addressed low numbers of men in nursing. Main findings included role expectations and workplace relations and how they are experienced by men in nursing. Findings from this research have a multidisciplinary impact in the workplace, and affect care of patients and their families.

“…Cohort differences add a further dimension to language dilemmas. Terms which were widely used in the past, such as ‘transsexual’, may be familiar and comfortable identity terms to some, while being seen as stigmatizing by younger or more recently transitioned groups (Adams, Spencer and Capuzza ; Carabez et al ). Valentine’s fieldwork also identified a number of communities where the term ‘transgender’ was not commonly used, even by individuals undergoing feminizing medical treatment.…”

Developing a critical trans gerontology

Within existing academic literature, ageing within trans populations has primarily been addressed from the perspective of offering advice to service providers and clinicians, with relatively limited application of critical sociological perspectives. This article seeks to integrate the critical perspectives on gerontology with transfeminism, identifying areas of commonality regarding accounts of an integrated lifecourse, scepticism of biomedicalization, and an emphasis on local context. The article suggests that this integration provides a fruitful basis for developing future research into the study of trans ageing, and also provides theoretical development across many debates around age, gender and the lifecourse.

Aims and objectives With a focus on sexual health and rights, this study describes how transgender people experience meetings with health care professionals. Background Transgender people face prejudice and discrimination worldwide. Little is known of their experiences in sexual health‐promoting settings. Method Within a descriptive design, 20 persons aged 18–74 and identifying as transgender and nonbinary were interviewed. The results were analysed with constructivist grounded theory. Results Disrespect among health care professionals is the core category connected to the experiences in the result; transgender people experience estrangement, expectations and eviction in different sexual health‐promoting settings. Conclusion Transgender knowledge needs to be increased in general, in both specialised transgender health care and many other health care settings, to prevent transgender peoples' experiences of estrangement. Moreover, an increased knowledge of, and respect for, sexual health and rights is needed to prevent transgender peoples' exposure to gender binary, cis‐ and heteronormative expectations. In addition, access to sexual health care is essential following gender‐confirmatory care as well to avoid transgender peoples' experiences of eviction from the health care system. Relevance to clinical practice Nurses have an important role to play in striving for equity and justice within health care. This study describes how health care professionals appear to be disrespectful and suggestions of how this can be avoided are made.
