Supporting transvisibility and gender diversity in nursing practice and education: embracing cultural safety

This article seeks to raise readers’ awareness about the problems inherent to transinvisibility and to propose several curricular and structural‐level interventions that may serve to gradually increase the recognition of gender diversity in the planning and delivery of nursing education and practice. Contextualized in gender and intersectionality theory, cultural safety is presented as a viable and appropriate framework for engaging in these upstream approaches to addressing gender diversity in nursing education and practice. Among the structural interventions proposed are as follows: inclusive information systems, creation of gender neutral and safe spaces, lobbying for inclusion of competencies that address care of trans‐persons in accreditation standards and licensure examinations and engaging in nursing research in this area.
