“Making a Way Out of No Way:” Understanding the Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Experiences of Transmasculine Young Adults of Color in the United States

Abstract: Research focusing on the specific and unique sexual and reproductive health care experiences of transmasculine young adults of color are extremely scarce. We conducted five focus group discussions with 19 Black, Latinx, Asian, Native, and other transmasculine individuals of color aged 18–25 years in the greater Boston area. Using thematic analysis, we found that transmasculine young adults of color experienced cissexism, heterosexism, and racism in accessing and utilizing sexual and reproductive health service… Show more

“…However, there is a dearth of preliminary and disaggregated data on pregnancy‐related mortality outcomes for Black transgender and gender‐diverse birthing persons. Yet, we can infer from the literature that outcomes for these populations are similar or even worse due to the added effects of cissexism, transphobia and trans misogynoir (Figure 2; Agénor et al, 2021; Murkujee et al, 2021).…”

“…While there is a paucity of data specifically for Black transmasculine and gender‐diverse (TMGD) birthing communities, we can surmise from the data on obstetric outcomes for white TMGD birthing people and aggregated data on Black birthing people that interpersonal factors such as implicit bias, harmful stereotypes and discrimination play an overwhelmingly detrimental role in poor intrapartum outcomes for this subpopulation (Agénor et al, 2021; Moseson et al, 2021; Saluja & Bryant, 2021). Moreover, Black TMGD birthing persons endure socio‐structural determinants of health that mirror their cisgender counterparts.…”

“…Anti-abortion laws also impact individuals who are transgender because clinics providing abortions may also provide transgender health care (Jones et al, 2020). In settings such as a women's clinic or hospital birthing center, these patients often are faced with institutional cisgenderism —upholding the gender binary (Agénor et al, 2022). Qualitative research has documented additional overlapping issues of racism and heterosexism among transmasculine young adults of color (Agénor et al, 2022).…”
