DYK that transgender people have higher risks of chronic health conditions?

This can mean earlier experiences with disability. It can also mean higher rates of disability overall. This community also faces difficulties when accessing healthcare. This is especially true for transgender people of color. We know that all people with disabilities deserve affirming and accessible health care.
