LGBT Resources

Medical Resources

Mandatory disclaimer: I am not a doctor, registered dietician, fitness trainer, or other trained professional; I’m just someone who reads a lot. If you have health or other medical contraindications that might be exacerbated by a change in diet, exercise, or HRT, you should talk to a professional before starting anything.

One Medical—Provides on-site health services to the LGBT community in various cities.

CAN Community Health—A non-profit organization whose services I now attend to; while focusing primarily on those with HIV, they extend their services to the wider LGBT community.

Planned Parenthood—While they have locations in 32 states, they are big allies and have many resources for lesbians looking to practice safer sex and plan a family.

I no loner provide links to telemedicine providers. They are all too often concierge medicine services, meaning they only take cash and won’t work with insurance—plus they’ve leaked customer information to ad agencies for profit.

Please do ***NOT*** email me if you work for a ”rehab”, ”medical”, or ”community” center that is for-profit, does not work ***IN-NETWORK*** with insurance companies to cover costs, or related bullshit. I will look into adding community centers and medical establishments that serve rural or large areas, but they need to be community-based, work with insurance companies or social services, and be a positive force with the local LGBT and/or HIV communities for me to consider adding them.
Please do not contact me if you aim to ”heal” or ”cure” anyone . We call that conversion therapy, and has already been conclusively, unequivocally proven to harm members of the LGBT community. I will publicly mock your attempts, and even potentially dox you, for having the chutzpah to contact me about such bullshit.
