Some of the first things that come to mind... are situations where transmen or transwomen don't think about things because of their pre-transition upbringing...

Like:

Trans guys still need to get PAP smears (something most guys don’t need to go through which can be quite challenging)
Trans women need to do breast exams

Everyone needs to be aware of what kind of tissue they have between their legs and what fluids might bring unwanted "guests" into that tissue...

A great deal of concern stems from people not being aware that though they're in transition and are being read differently, see themselves as something, are experiencing different sensations (like on hormones), etc... they still have body parts that might need special attention.

Like transwomen who are pre-op or non-op who tuck… there is a good chance if you tuck often that you will expose tissue that will then be more susceptible to fluids, and hence, STI transfers..

An all too common factor is with trans guys I have worked with who are gay identified and are bottoms... they often feel they are being safe because they are using condoms when penetrated anally... and forget they have exposed tissue between their legs that can still receive fluids...

hence why I choose to talk about sexual acts, tissue, and fluids... as those are terms we all have in common regardless of gender and sexuality. If we approach prevention from this standpoint we can reach a broader audience without alienating people..
