Abstract EN
Well-documented health research points to trans people’s vulnerability to health inequities that are linked to deeply embedded structural and social determinants of health.
Gender and work, as social determinants of health for trans people, both shape and are shaped by multiple factors such as support networks, social environments, income and social status, shelter, and personal health practices.
There is a gap in the nursing literature in regards to research on work and health for diverse trans people and a virtual silence on the particular issues of trans-identified health providers.
This qualitative study used comparative life history methodology and purposeful sampling to examine links among work, career, and health for transmen who are health providers.
Semistructured interviews were completed with four Canadian transmen involved in health care professional and/or practice contexts with diverse professions, age, work, and transitioning experiences.
Critical gender analysis showed that unique and gender-related critical events and influences shape continuities and discontinuities in their careerlives.
This strength-based approach foregrounds how resilience and growth emerged through participants’ articulation with everyday gender dynamics.
These findings have implications for nursing research, education, and practice that include an understanding of how trans providers “do transgender work” and supporting them in that process.
