Typically, TVS is well tolerated by patients, with low levels of discomfort reported. Trans and gender diverse people assigned female at birth may experience gender dysphoria or testosterone\u2010related anatomical changes, which could make such intimate examinations physically difficult or emotionally distressing. However, to date, no studies have considered the impact of gender identity on individuals' experiences of TVS. To fill this research gap, we explored the experiences of TVS among trans and gender diverse individuals assigned female at birth within Australia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted semi\u2010structured interviews with trans and gender diverse individuals assigned female at birth who have experienced TVS in Australia.
