    Introducción: Las personas trans pueden encontrarse en una situación de discriminación social, reflejada en su salud y en la escasa investigación científica. La teoría del estrés minoritario señala la importancia del apoyo social para el estrés de las minorías sexuales o de género. En este estudio se pretende explorar el apoyo social y sus dimensiones en esta población. Método: Participan 81 personas, de las cuales 36 son trans y 45 no trans (cisgénero), como grupo control. Se aplica The Mos Social Support Survey para medir el apoyo social percibido y un cuestionario con variables sociodemográficas. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que no existen diferencias en el apoyo social percibido entre ambos grupos. Sin embargo, variables sociodemográficas como tener pareja, edad y situación laboral muestran cambios para la población trans en algunas dimensiones. Conclusión: Estos hallazgos promueven futuras líneas de investigación que amplíen el conocimiento de estas variables en este colectivo.

    Background: Trans people may find themselves in a situation of social discrimination, reflected in their health and in the lack of scientific research. The minority stress theory points out the importance of social support for the stress of sexual or gender minorities. This study aims to explore social support and its dimensions in this population. Method: 81 people participate, of which 36 are trans and 45 non-trans (cisgender), as a control group. The Mos Social Support Survey is applied to measure perceived social support and a questionnaire with sociodemographic variables. Results: The results show that there are no differences in the perceived social support between both groups. However, sociodemographic variables such as having a partner, age, and employment situation show change for the trans population in some dimensions. Conclusion: These findings promote future lines of research that expand the knowledge of these variables in this group.
