I just got my dream job helping run a trans healthcare program, and I'm looking for input from the community on on what would make you feel more comfortable or engaged with your medical provider. We provide everything from HRT to surgery to non-trans medical care. My goal is to have the happiest, healthiest patients in the country!

Probably not something you can affect, but my biggest issue with trans care is just access to it through insurance. Free clinics and out of pocket payments make it doable, but around me, the offices specializing in trans care don't cover insurances except the few largest.
