How & Why We Built the Access & Info Hub

For Trans & Gender-Expansive Communities

Because healthcare systems were not built for the trans and gender expansive community, many of us spend hours sifting through online forums, wondering where to go to find accurate information and community.

We want you to spend less time re-inventing the wheel, and more time exploring and affirming who you are. No matter where you are in your gender journey, we're here to reassure you that the life you want is possible, and to help you get there. We’ve got your back.

For Healthcare Teams

Most clinicians receive no education around how to care for transgender patients, and did not have a place to turn to for up-to-date information on gender-affirming care delivery and inclusive healthcare practices.

By providing consolidated, curated, and comprehensive information on gender-affirming care, our platform makes it easier and faster to deliver quality care to your transgender patients.

Our Curation Process

To develop the Access & Info Hub, we:

  • Interviewed 600+ trans community members, activists, clinicians, and researchers

  • Attended 11 conferences to understand the latest developments in trans health

  • Read 200+ peer-reviewed articles

  • Vetted 1300+ online resources and forums
