In the United States today, so many people are struggling to access basic health care. For trans and gender nonconforming people, this fight is emphasized by so many rigid barriers including financial walls, inadequate insurance coverage, and lack of meaningful guidance from woefully undertrained and ill equipped medical providers. In addition, many trans people struggle to find community support and reliable online resources to guide them through the process of accessing gender affirming reconstructive care.
This project is spearheaded by Tobly McSmith and Annie Morgan, both of trans experience who have had to fight for their own access to gender affirming care. Together, we want to bring greater awareness and access to life saving healthcare for trans and nonbinary people of all walks of life.
