| Abstrakt: | Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic and access profile of trans men and transmasculine individuals linked to the Transgender Outpatient Clinic in Porto Alegre, capital city of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study based on data from users registered with the service between 2019 and 2021. Results: Of the 418 people included, 384 (91.2%) identified as trans men and 34 (8.8%) as transmasculine individuals. The majority were of White race/skin color (77.9%) and 16.4% had a right to name and gender rectification. Scheduled appointments were the predominant mode of access (84.0%). Among the trans men, 188 (49.0%) had utilized primary healthcare services prior to receiving care at the outpatient clinic. Conclusion: The users were predominantly young, White, with higher levels of education, and were minimally engaged in the formal labor market. The existence of a service staffed with qualified and sensitized professionals can enhance the access of this population to the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS). |
