Hi! I’m a trans male doctor (pre-gender affirming therapy) who is eyeing to set up a digital health platform geared towards our community.
As a trans man pre-T/surgery living in the Philippines, I have had my fair share of discrimination and judgment while in the doctor’s clinic and healthcare institutions. I’ve been misgendered. I’ve felt anxious and apprehensive about opening up to my physician. In an informal crowdsourcing post on Reddit, it was reinforced that many of us share the same sentiments. That’s why I thought of this idea—a digital health gateway for you, my fellow brothers and sisters in the rainbow, to feel safe while consulting healthcare professionals in the comfort of your own private space. This means everyone undergoes SOGIESC sensitivity training.
Before I can do that, I need your help by telling me what you need and want in this potential service. Thank you!!
