Trans men and non-binary people 'discouraged' from cervical screenings


Trans and non-binary people experience barriers to accessing cervical screenings due to discrimination, new research has confirmed.
The findings from Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, which were published in the
British Journal of General Practice on Tuesday (18 May), surveyed 137 trans men and non-binary people about their experiences with cervical screening.
Among the respondents, 47 per cent reported they were eligible for cervical screening – but just over half (58 per cent) of this group had ever been screened for cervical cancer. Only 53 per cent of those eligible felt like they had sufficient information about cervical screening.
According to the research, trans men and non-binary people faced a range of factors impacting their ability and intention to attend cervical screenings. This included female-focused information, not receiving invitations for screenings and being discouraged or turned away from attending cervical screenings. Some participants felt they would not be able to attend the test because of of medical professionals’ lack of expertise in gender dysphoria.

Don't mention women on smear test invitations – 'it might make trans men feel uncomfortable'


Don’t mention women on smear test invitations – ‘it might make trans men feel uncomfortable’
Gender neutral language should be used instead to encourage uptake of cancer screening among everyone with a cervix, say researchers
18 May 2021 • 6:00am
Smear test invitations should not refer to women as it is discouraging trans men from accessing cancer screenings, a new study has suggested.
Researchers said that gender neutral invitations should be used instead to encourage uptake from trans men to get screened.
Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, a major cancer charity, said that both trans men and non-binary people with a cervix faced "barriers" to accessing screening.
