Trans and Nonbinary Individuals’ Experiences & Challenges with Sex and Gender Identity Documentation in Healthcare Settings in Switzerland

This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the experiences of trans and nonbinary (TNB) individuals regarding the documentation and communication of sex and gender identity in healthcare settings in Switzerland. Data were collected through an online survey assessing structural factors (documentation accuracy, form inclusivity, ease of change, provider knowledge), interpersonal factors (respectful communication, perceived rejection, breach of confidentiality, medical harm), individual factors (disclosure safety, disclosure of gender identity, negative expectations, non-disclosure behavior), and healthcare avoidance. Recruitment was conducted through professional medical organizations (n = 11), LGBTIQ+ community organizations (n = 22), a targeted Instagram campaign led by Unisanté and Transgender Network Switzerland (TGNS), and snowball sampling. Data collection took place from July 10 to September 4, 2025. The dataset includes responses from 156 participants.
