ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to identify trans women’s and men’s knowledge about the adverse effects of cross-hormonization and understand the repercussions of hormonization practices on trans women’s and men’s health.

Methods:

exploratory, descriptive, qualitative research, developed with 41 participants, from July 2019 to February 2020, in a trans health outpatient clinic. Thematic-categorical content analysis was used.

Results:

from the analysis, the categories emerged: Knowledge about the adverse effects of cross-hormonization; and Cross-hormonization practices and their meaning.

Final Considerations:

nursing practices, based on the identification of knowledge about adverse effects and the understanding of cross-hormonization practices in trans women’s and men’s health, can result in more inclusive care.
