We may edit some submissions if the content is too identifiable or if we feel that discriminatory language has been used; because let's be honest, none of us is perfect!
If you've managed to get a positive outcome from your experience, please include this in your story

We need your voices to make sure we're heard!
One or two stories are easy to dismiss, but if we can catalogue the thousands of ways in which the LGBTQ2S+ community is discriminated against by the healthcare system,
then we can't keep being ignored.

I am asexual and every time I go to my ob/gyn my doctor asks me if "I’ve had sex yet“ and is surprised when I say that I haven’t.
He then always looks at me with pity or says something like "why not?/it‘ll happen soon/huh, uncommon“.
I usually feel pretty bad after I was there but it’s hard to find a different ob/gyn in my city.
