We sent an email version of this out to subscribers on Friday September 27th. We strive to check in semi-regularly with QueerDoc updates, tracking legislation in the states we serve, and education about transgender medical care. If you’d like to be on our list for future updates, sign up at the bottom of this page.
We hope to be in touch every so often with news and free educational content focused on trans healthcare. Don’t worry, you can unsubscribe at any time!
SO MUCH TO CHECK IN ABOUT!
ALASKA NEWS
Our founder, Dr. Beal, has been seeing Alaska patients through Identity. We are now seeing youth and adult Alaska patients “in-house,” too! Identity may still be a good choice for people with insurance, as they are able to accept insurance for appointments.
FLORIDA NEWS
The Eleventh Circuit Court stayed Judge Hinkle’s injunction on the youth and adult care restrictions in Florida. We are happy to discuss care options with you. Check out that Request Appointment button at the top of the page to book an introductory appointment. More info about getting care at QueerDoc here.
HAWAI’I NEWS
We are sad to announce that we will not be able to continue prescribing testosterone in Hawai’i. Hawai’i state regulations require an in-person visit for all testosterone prescriptions: both first prescriptions and refills. While it has been a privilege to provide care for people seeking testosterone in Hawai’i, our current volume of work there does not support the cost of travel. We always try to prioritize people over profits, and we are stuck in the same late-stage capitalism as the rest of our community. We just could not make this work financially.
OREGON NEWS
We have soft-launched in Oregon, and we are ready to formally open up those books.
We are seeing youth and adults for telehealth visits in Oregon. We can currently schedule in mid-October, with expanded hours available in November.
IN THE BLOG

- Transdermal testosterone and transdermal estrogen.

We’re Fundraising!
Our wonderful non-profit sponsors, TransFamily Support Services, are no longer able to host our access fund donation page. We thank them for their support these past few years. ????????????
Our donation page will remain active until the end of day Monday, September 30th, 2024. We are in active discussions with a new nonprofit sponsor and hope to share those details soon.
Donations to our Access Fund directly support the costs of visits, prescriptions, labs, and medical interpreters for patients who cannot afford our sliding scale fees. Awards range from a single visit during a financial crisis to a year or more of care.
Donations are tax deductible and eligible for employer matching. Thank you! ????????????
Support our Sliding Scale with Swag
All QueerDoc gear purchases support our sliding scale which inflation has hit pretty hard. Find our store here.
