To this end, 22 life stories written by parents of trans children and adolescents who had undergone social transition were collected, and a qualitative analysis was carried out using MAXQDA software. For this purpose, three key periods were considered in the stories: before, during and after the transition. Among other aspects, the stories highlight a major lack of understanding on the part of the professionals who should support trans children and adolescents, and their families, in their transition processes. Parents described the attitude of those professionals who actively listened to their children’s needs and were cooperative as positive, even if they do not have the necessary training. The need for specific training in diversity is one of the main conclusions of this study. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.7 2024 HEALTH POLICY & SERVICES 35 / 125 = 0.28 2024 Q2 T1 HEALTH CARE SCIENCES & SERVICES 65 / 188 = 0.346 2024 Q2 T2 0.754 2024 Health Informatics 2024 Q2 Leadership and Management 2024 Q2 Health Policy 2024 Q2 Health Information Management 2024 Q2 4.7 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mayor, Aingeru Moyano, Nieves 4001 625 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
