Abstract

This article explores issues that a transgender and/ or gender non-confirming individual may face when admitted to hospital, such as being admitted into the wrong ward. The article uses Seedhouse’s ethical grid to critically analysis ethical decision making when admitting a transgender and/ or gender non-confirming individual into a traditional hospital ward. The article then explores language and micro aggressions and their impact on an individual’s identity and selfhood, including, inappropriate naming of wards, such as, women’s health units. The article finally highlights the need for hospitals and healthcare services need to develop transgender and gender non-confirming policies to appropriately care for this demographic.
