73. "I think sex is different for everybody" - Sexual Experiences and Expectations in Transgender Youth

There is a paucity of data on sexual experiences of transgender adolescents, yet this population is at high risk for sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Characterizing the lived experiences of these youth can provide insight to guide clinicians ’ best practices and refine evidence-based family and school-centered sexual education. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to describe sexual experiences and sexual health education of transgender youth.
