INTRO

Hello friends, BJ here. I just wanted to share my heartful gratitude for your presence here, and let you know all the exciting things we've got coming up in June!

ORIGINAL REPORTING

Weekly on Wednesdays

Starting on June 4th, Paid Members will receive a piece of original reporting every week, from service pieces to investigations to case studies and more.

I have some amazing interviews lined up over the next couple of weeks; we're talking about cultural competency, disaster and displacement, HIV testing and prevention disparities, eating disorders and the intersection of dysphoria with dysmorphia, the telehealth legal landscape, and so much more! I'm so excited to bring you these stories and share these voices.

Only one of these reported stories every month will be available to free subscribers, so be sure to upgrade and don't miss out!

FRIDAY COLUMNS

Behind the Scenes

On Fridays, paid members will receive one of our monthly columns, plus new additions to our downloadable Resource Library.

Provider POV: These 12-question Q&As give professionals the opportunity to share their insight and favorite resources about improving queer trans care. Get to know your fellow allies and queer practitioners!

Queer in Practice: Spotlighting change-makers and movement-builders, these intimate conversations will profile LGBTQ+ folks working in health and wellness systems to improve queer care experiences and outcomes.

Peer Reviewed: I sit down to chat 1-on-1 with researchers, scientists, and academics to discuss their published or soon-to-be released work, their motivations, and the support that keeps them going.

Is This a Thing?: Our resident advice column! LGBTQ+ people ask me questions, and I hit the books, scour the research, and inquire with the professionals about the weirdest and wackiest health conditions, changes, symptoms, associations, and coincidences, to answer the question… is this a thing? Think testosterone and hiccups, transgender hypermobility, LGBT left-handedness, or anti-androgen meds for trans dudes.

“Is this a thing?”
