Popis: ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify trans women’s and men’s knowledge about the adverse effects of cross-hormonization and understand the repercussions of hormonization practices on trans women’s and men’s health. Methods: exploratory, descriptive, qualitative research, developed with 41 participants, from July 2019 to February 2020, in a trans health outpatient clinic. Thematic-categorical content analysis was used. Results: from the analysis, the categories emerged: Knowledge about the adverse effects of cross-hormonization; and Cross-hormonization practices and their meaning. Final Considerations: nursing practices, based on the identification of knowledge about adverse effects and the understanding of cross-hormonization practices in trans women’s and men’s health, can result in more inclusive care.
