“…3 PR is characterized by a dominant patriarchal culture, strong Christian beliefs, and conservative political ideals. 8 Throughout the years, women and marginalized groups have faced numerous challenges stemming from gender paradigms and the ideas of inferiority associated with femininity and the female body. 9 The transgender community has also been subjected to high levels of violence, compounded by the island's weak infrastructure and poor system for tracking such crimes.…”

“…PR's current culture upholds gender stereotypes, perpetuating the stigma toward the transgender community. 8 This is of concern given that the Constitution of PR establishes that the dignity of every human being is inviolable and that there should not be any discrimination based on race, color, sex, birth, origin, or social condition, nor political or religious ideas. 12 However, the transgender experiences in PR have reported otherwise.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of a sample of Hispanics in Puerto Rico (PR) toward the transgender community.MethodsA cross‐sectional study addressing Hispanics, aged 21 years or older who lived in PR, was performed from March to September 2021. Participants were invited through online advertisement shared on social media pages. Data were collected via SurveyMonkey and analyzed with Stata 17. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize findings.ResultsA total of 404 participants were sampled. Most were female, 278 (68.8%), had completed at least a bachelor's degree, 292 (72.2%), and referred exposure to trans‐related topics during education, 237 (58.7%). Most correctly defined the terms sex, 257 (63.6%), sexual orientation, 334 (82.7%) and transgenderism, 297 (73.5%). The majority also agreed that transgender individuals should be able to change their name, 353 (93.6%) and undergo gender‐affirming procedures, 335 (88.9%). Most also believed trans individuals were a valuable part of society, 339 (89.9%) and should be allowed free gender expression, 358 (95.0%).ConclusionsPR is characterized by a patriarchal, religious, and conservative culture which could promote a negative attitude toward transgender people. Our findings challenged such assumption. The level of knowledge and positive attitude toward trans individuals identified in this study could counteract the existing violence and stigma affecting this community in PR.

Purpose: Transgender and gender nonconforming (GNC) people continue to experience suboptimal health care, social exclusion, and lower quality of life. Globally, lack of access to services, institutional violence, and public harassment have been reported. However, there is limited data on transgender health in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. The purpose of this study is to assess the social determinants of health and wellbeing of transgender and GNC people living in Puerto Rico.Methods: Utilizing a community-based participatory research approach, 52 self-identified transgender and GNC individuals living in Puerto Rico completed a survey, which included questions on access to health care services, social support, and violence, among others. Data were collected from March to Ma y of 2015 and descriptive statistical analysis was conducted.Results: Most of the participants reported experiences of discrimination across multiple social settings, most commonly at school (70.6%) and work (67.4%). Regarding experiences of violence, more than half (65.4%) had been verbally attacked in a public space. Many reported that access to gender-affirming health care services is difficult in Puerto Rico (88.5%) due to lack of knowledgeable providers (59.6%) and discomfort during the encounter (55.8%). The main perceived priority for their wellbeing was a transgender health care center.Conclusion: Although the LGBT equality movement has reached great milestones, access to gender-affirming health services and safe educational and work spaces are still needed. Findings from the study provide guidance for actions to reduce health disparities by addressing the needs for health and wellbeing among transgender and GNC individuals.
