IT’S ALMOST PRIDE MONTH!
We believe in pride all the time (look out for our unofficial PRIDE slogan “Queer All Year” on our social media this month,) and we do a lot more than write estradiol, testosterone, and bica prescriptions. We also provide surgery referral letters and identity document change letters, as well as insurance navigation support, provider education about gender-affirming healthcare, and inclusivity consultations with businesses. We are constantly learning about queer care, and we believe that gender-affirming care shouldn’t be hard to find, so we also love to teach. In this spirit, we’re excited to announce some of the things we have planned for June and beyond:

QueerDoc’s Dr. Crystal Beal is a nationally renowned speaker and educator in transgender health topics. They have an approachable style with a down-to-earth nature that shines when teaching about their passion for gender-affirming medical care. Their lived experience allows a level of nuance to their lectures that is not available from providers who are allies only. They share not only medical expertise but also practical advice on all the things you can’t find in the textbooks or guidelines.
Join them at QueerU! Everything you need to step-up your practice in adult gender-affirming medical care. For less than you would spend on any conference, you get both the medical training and the practical tools for an inclusive and affirming practice:
- 12 CME accredited webinars (14 CME/CE hours)

Dr. Crystal Beal leveraged their lived experience and knowledge from their high-volume gender-affirming practice to creaet QueerU. Learn more about Dr. Beal’s program at QueerCME.
For a sample of Dr. Beal’s style, QueerDoc will be offering “What’s in a Word? The Evolving Language of Gender-Affirming Care” for FREE! Sign up here.
QueerDoc believes every provider can incorporate gender-affirming skills into their practice. Our mission is to raise the bar in queer and gender-affirming healthcare and cure LGBTQ+ healthcare discrimination. Gender-affirming medical care is considered medically necessary care by most medical organizations including but not limited to:
- The Endocrine Society
- The Pediatric Endocrine Society
- American Academy of Family Physicians
- American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
- American College of Physicians
- American Medical Association
- American Osteopathic Association
- American Psychiatric Association
- American Public Health Association
Education from a provider with a high-volume practice and lived experience is a great first step toward providing authentic gender-affirming care to your patients.
We hope you have a wonderful, safe, and exciting Pride month. Happy PRIDE!
