There is increasing evidence to suggest that transgender (trans) and non-binary people encounter significant societal discrimination, stereotypical and misleading representation in the media, and frequent misgendering. They may also experience several barriers to accessing healthcare, as well as discrimination from staff and other patients. This article explores how and why trans and non-binary people experience discrimination, and discusses how healthcare professionals, including nurses, can enhance the care experience for these patients, with a particular emphasis on language and communication.
越来越多的证据表明，跨性别者和非二元性别者在社会中遭遇严重的歧视、媒体中存在刻板且误导性的呈现，以及频繁被错用性别称呼。他们在获得医疗保健方面也可能面临诸多障碍，还会受到医护人员及其他患者的歧视。本文探讨了跨性别者和非二元性别者如何以及为何会遭受歧视，并讨论了包括护士在内的医疗保健专业人员如何能够改善这些患者的就医体验，尤其着重于语言和沟通方面。
