Abstract
PURPOSE: This study compares the health status of gender nonconforming transgender adults with gender-binary transgender peers (i.e., transgender men and transgender women). METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of the 2014-2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. RESULTS: After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, proxies for healthcare access, health conditions, and health behaviors, gender nonconforming transgender adults were at increased odds, compared with gender-binary transgender peers, of self-reported poor or fair health and self-reported limitation in any way in any activities because of physical, mental, or emotional problems. CONCLUSIONS: Gender nonconforming transgender adults experienced worse self-reported health disparities than gender-binary transgender peers.
