Taking care of your mental health care isn’t always easy (have you seen the news?!), and both licensed therapists and broader social support have a role to play in being well as a trans person.

In this story, Kaiden (@k8.den) shares how having a therapist who understands trans experiences made a real difference, but so did leaning on community - and how he finds agency and empowerment by giving back.

Talking to people who “get it” can be just as important as formal care when it comes to finding affirming healthcare - like another trans person who understands both the emotional frustration of navigating requirements as well as the tactical steps to get to letters of support for healthcare - and everyone deserves to be understood by a community that has their back.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Trans Health HQ (@transhealthhq.community) has an Access and Info Hub that can help you find affirming providers and resources recommended by the community - always free, and built by and for the trans community. L!B for more information.

Getting trans healthcare, especially surgeries, often isn’t straightforward.

In Kaiden’s experience, it takes persistence. Following up on paperwork, confirming letters were received, scheduling appointments, and advocating for yourself at every step. Things can fall through the cracks, and no one is tracking it as closely as you are.

That’s why self-advocacy isn’t optional. It’s part of the process.

You shouldn’t have to figure all of this out alone. Trans Health HQ’s Access and Info Hub offers guidance and resources to help you navigate care, understand what’s needed, and stay on top of the process.

When it comes to trans healthcare, community knowledge is everything. That’s why at Trans Health HQ, we’ve done the work for you and pulled together community-recommended resources and providers for trans health & wellness.

In this story, Lee, Adrian, and Kaiden’s advice is clear: talk to other trans people. Ask about their experiences, who they trust, and who they don’t. Word of mouth, both recommendations and warnings, can help you navigate providers more safely.

Directories and websites can be a starting point, but they’re not always the full picture. “LGBTQ-friendly” doesn’t always mean truly trans-affirming.

Sharing experiences, especially around providers like PCPs and surgeons, helps keep each other informed and protected.

You don’t have to figure this out alone! Trans Health HQ’s Access and Info Hub has thousands of community’s recommendations, and is always free - find resources at the l!nk in b!o and suggest what’s worked for you!

What does health and wellness actually mean to the trans community?

Kick off Trans Day of Visibility with our new series centering the six trans and gender-expansive community members and their gender and healthcare journeys.

Too often, trans people are NOT consulted in our own healthcare, and the average person doesn’t know what it takes to navigate healthcare as a trans person today.

Hear from our friends about how they find affirming providers, self-advocate at the doctor’s office, find community support, wrestle with mental health, cancer, gender-affirming care, and ultimately embody their best selves in this moment of crisis for the trans community.

You deserve to access trans healthcare, and you deserve to have a community and care team that trusts you to make decisions about what’s best for you, and creates a safe and inviting place to explore what it means to live a life that feels like yours.

Ready to get started? Join 18,000+ people and use @transhealthhq.community’s Access and Info Hub and access quality gender-affirming care. It’s free, built by and for the trans community, and contains thousands of vetted, community-informed resources on trans health and wellness. Find it via our l1nk in b10.
