There are still too few French studies addressing transphobia and its public health implications - Focus

According to the definition provided in the 2020–2023 National Action Plan for Equal Rights and Against Anti-LGBT+ Hate and Discrimination, transphobia “refers to the rejection, contempt, or hatred of people or behaviors associated with trans identities, that is, associated with a gender perceived as non-conforming.” To date, in France, studies documenting such discrimination and violence against transgender people remain rare. However, numerous studies from English-speaking countries have demonstrated the impact of this violence on the quality of life and health of transgender people. In this article, we propose a non-exhaustive review of the French literature.
