For transgender individuals, the world is not always affirming. Some trans people do have supportive family and friends, work with inclusive employers, and live in areas where they have strong legal protections.

If you’re an LGBTQIA+ individual who lives in a non-affirming environment, it can feel like every day is a struggle to honor your own identity. Perhaps you grew up in an area where LGBTQIA+ individuals often faced discrimination.

If you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, you might be interested in becoming a parent one day. Yet you’re not sure how to navigate the fertility journey with your partner, especially if you live in a smaller area.

Maybe you have a few friends who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Perhaps a friend has just come out to you for the first time.

Today, people are increasingly aware of the importance of gender-affirming care for transgender individuals, as well as those who are questioning their gender identities.
