There’s a lot of talk about physical violence and employment discrimination against trans people, but there’s one aspect you don’t hear much about: health care.
According to 2011′s National Transgender Discrimination Survey, nearly 20% of survey respondents reported having been refused care because they’re transgender. More than 25% reported being harassed in a doctor’s office, and 50% had to actually educate their doctors on aspects of trans health care.
“I have been refused emergency room treatment even when delivered to the hospital by ambulance with numerous broken bones and wounds,” says one survey respondent.
But a group of four trans people have teamed up to provide a simple service: connect other folks with trans-friendly medical providers.

Just a quick guide for all you guys and girls having trouble finding the right insurance. It’s incredibly difficult to find insurance that covers sex reassignment surgery, and even when then do, there’s a chance you’ll be denied.
Make sure you guys are informed so you can make the right healthcare decisions!

Hey, just a quick question. Can Carter be used as a female name? I'm a trans girl and that's really the only thing I'm ok with is my name.
Any person of any gender can use any name.This website shows quite a few people who named their baby girls Carter. It’s a cute name! Someone, I think Ty Turner? made a video about keeping your old name when you transition, and in it, his cousin, who was a trans woman, kept her birth name Tristan. I’ve mostly met guys named Tristan, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a girl and rock it! If you like Carter, and you’re a girl, it’s a girl’s name!

Please help... My abusive father is making me get a haircut, despite him knowing how much distress it causes me. Its either I get it cut or get kicked out so do you have any pictures of feminine short haircuts cuz my hair isn't that long anyways. (trans girl if looking for clarification)
Hey there,
I’m really sorry that you’re in this situation! I hope you’re able to get somewhere safe and healthy soon, and that you’ve got a support system now.
Pixie cuts are pretty feminine short cuts. Kpop guys tend to have pretty androgynous haircuts as well. “Skater boy”/Justin Bieber haircuts are also good for someone who wants longer or shorter hair cut can’t get it (true trans masc and trans fem solidarity). There are lots of pictures online if you google it, and you’ll know better than me what pictures your dad would accept.
Good luck, and I hope you’re able to get the haircut you want soon. :)
idk, whatever this is ○ i was the turkey all along ○ she/her, queer trans woman
