Sumario:OBJECTIVES: to discuss ethical aspects in nursing care for transgender people. METHODS: reflective study based on the dilemmas that emerges in nursing care for transgender people. The report was structured around the four bioethical principles. RESULTS: health care for trans people is complex, transversal to many devices and specialties and longitudinal in time, that is why it requires coordinated action. There is an ethical framework in which the nursing care must be observed in the care of this group. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the nurse as a health worker can assume several general lines in the care of transgender patients. So, complementary training should be provided not only to professionals, but also to students of nursing and other health sciences.
