year = {2023},
note = {This chapter investigates factors that contribute to the substandard
health situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, trans, intersex
and queer (LGBATIQ) people in Germany. The focus here lies on the
somatic health of LGBATIQ people facing heteronormativity within the
German healthcare system as a whole. We offer three interconnected
explanations: minority stress, (anticipated) discrimination leading to
avoidance of the healthcare system, and lack of affirmative and
empirically based healthcare. In order to analyze queer patients’
experiences, we conducted qualitative interviews with trans and
asexual patients. In this chapter, we analyze the findings from our
interviews on three levels: the macro level, e.g. socio-political
regulations concerning access to healthcare, the micro level, e.g.
doctor-patient interaction, as well as the meso level, e.g. workflows
in doctor’s offices. In closing, we want to discuss in which way
access to healthcare for LGBATIQ people can be improved.},
