We would like to thank the participants who bravely shared their stories with our team. The time you invested in this study will not go silently into the pages of a journal but will be the flames to burn down broken systems, and the foundation to rebuild the supports the TGD community deserves.
The systems in place have failed many of you, time and time again. We dedicate this work to you all and vow to work with the community to improve health care provision for TGD survivors of violence. And to one of our participants who passed this year: you will forever be remembered, and your words and strength will be instrumental in creating interventions for women like you. We wish all participants strength, happiness, and support in your days to come. Finally, we would like to thank the institutions and individuals (remaining anonymous for confidentiality) who contributed time and resources to this study.
