“The constant invalidation and requirements to fit in a binary box disallows proper support, compassion and care with medical referrals and appointments. I always feel scared about visiting a doctor because I don't know if they'll be accepting or not.” Kaijoumari-Jade
When going to hospital for an appointment or inpatient stay, trans people ought to be able to expect care that meets their needs. All to often this doesn’t happen, but it’s time for that too change. That’s way we’ve created our Trans Inclusive Hospital Care resource. If you work in a hospital, take a look and share it with your colleagues. If you don’t, send a copy to your local hospital.

Everyone needs access to healthcare that meets their needs and trans people are no exception. However, a lack of training and guidance often means that healthcare professionals are ill equipped to be as trans inclusive as they can be.
