"Please be aware that, while practitioners who submit themselves for inclusion in this database are asked questions to confirm they offer a trans-positive, affirming environment, TransPulse can only take them at their word. We recommend asking when you schedule your appointment if they are still providing trans-inclusive care. If you have a negative experience - especially one in which your identity is erased or invalidated - please contact us and let us know the details."
