About TransExperiences

TransExperiences is a public archive of qualitative health research, preserving the personal stories and experiences of trans and gender-diverse young people and their families.

Why this archive exists

When the original websites hosting this research were decommissioned by MS-HERG (research group at the University of Oxford), this archive was created to ensure the research remained publicly accessible. The people who shared their stories did so to help others — patients, families, carers, and health professionals — understand what it is really like to be trans and gender diverse.

What you'll find here

Each topic in the archive contains:

  • Research sections — thematic summaries written by the research team, covering different aspects of people's experiences
  • Video clips — short recordings of participants describing their experiences in their own words
  • Transcripts — written versions of the video content, available for each clip
  • Participant profiles — brief background information about the people who took part
