Abstract: Objective: To explore the experiences, needs and challenges of the trans and non-binary population in relation to health care services, with a special focus on the care provided by nurses.Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study. A survey designed ex profeso was used. Forty people belonging to the trans and non-binary population who are in the Argentine public employment system and were incorporated after the enactment of the trans quota law participated.Results: This study identified multiple barriers faced by transgender, transsexual, transvestite, and non-binary people in clinical care, particularly in the interaction with nursing staff. Among the main obstacles are discrimination, stigma, undignified treatment and lack of respect, as well as poor training of health personnel in specific regulations and sensitivity to gender diversity. The findings highlight the significant role of nursing staff in providing adequate and humanized care to this population.Conclusions: It is essential to implement training programs in gender diversity, develop inclusive care protocols, and promote safe and respectful clinical environments that ensure equitable access to health services.
