Transgender research focuses on understanding and addressing the experiences, needs, and challenges faced by individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This research area encompasses a wide range of topics, including mental health, healthcare access, discrimination and stigma, identity development, and social support. Researchers in this field seek to increase awareness and understanding of transgender issues, inform policies and practices that support transgender individuals, and create a more inclusive and affirming society for all gender identities.
