Sumario:Dermatologic care plays an important role in the transitioning process for transgender women, with changes occurring to the skin from hormone therapy (HT) and gender affirming procedures.

Our results demonstrate potential gaps in knowledge that transgender women have regarding HT and gender affirming procedures.
