“Cisgender” is not a slur. It is a term used used in scientific, legal, medical, and everyday contexts. The attempt to make “cis” a slur is a blatant attempt to erase trans identities from a supposed “free speech absolutist.” Trans people exist. Cis people exist.

Please be sure to tell your LGBTQ patients and patients that regardless of the recent federal court decision on ACA, the exchanges are still OPEN for business and we will continue with Open Enrollment. There is no impact to your current coverage and your coverage in a 2019 plan.

Nearly half of #LGBTQ + #HealthcareHeroes live & work in states where it’s legal to be fired based on sexual orientation or gender identity ( @WilliamsPolicy ). We must make sure they're safe from discrimination as they fight #COVID19 . Speak up and speak out against discrimination.

All donated blood is rigorously tested for any pathogens, including HIV. Countries around the world are facing an increasing shortage of blood supply. Is it time to lift the ban on gay men giving blood? #lgbtqhealth #gayhealth

It’s 2020 and many gay men still aren’t allowed to donate blood. We look at the evidence and ask: do these rules make sense?

#LGBTQ + healthcare workers face discrimination every day. Not only is this something the LGBTQ+ healthcare community is facing right now as they fight #COVID19 on the frontlines, half also work in states where it’s legal to be fired based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

It's National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. New research from The @TrevorProject shows that LGBTQ youth who have been diagnosed with an eating disorder reported nearly 4x greater odds of attempting suicide than those who have not. #NEDAwareness

It's International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia! Established in 2004, the date May 17th holds profound significance as the date of the World Health Organization's landmark decision in 1990 to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. #IDAHOTB
