For many trans and gender-diverse people, disruptions to care have been particularly challenging. A recent mixed-methods study, conducted as part of Engage, explored access to gender-affirming care and other experiences of trans and gender-diverse people during COVID-19.[1] Engage researchers conducted interviews
