As noted by the authors:

  • Hematologists were comfortable with caring for transgender and gender-diverse (TG) people, though they indicated more education would improve comfort.

  • Multiple hematologists had recommended and prescribed thromboprophylaxis with GAHT start for individuals at increased risk for thrombosis.
