For Trans Guys and Non-Binary Folks
For generations, trans and non-binary folks have relied on their ability to navigate healthcare services and stand up for their rights to receive affirming and appropriate care. As healthcare providers still lag behind with trans competency, we must continue to advocate for ourselves and each other.
Finding a comfortable and inclusive healthcare service can be challenging and stressful. That is why we are working hard to connect you to resources that celebrate gender diversity and address trans-specific health care needs. For more tips on how to advocate for yourself within the health care system, check out this sine on self-advocacy below…
