<aside> 💡 The goal of this document is to help trans and gender-diverse people navigate the complex processes involved in obtaining gender-affirming care in British Columbia.

As someone living with multiple chronic physical and mental health conditions, I would not have been able to access the healthcare I needed without the help of my local and online disabled, trans, and racialized communities. By illuminating the steps to receiving gender-affirming care in BC, this document is my way of giving back to the communities that have given me so much.

Please reach out if you are facing access barriers in any area of healthcare; if I don’t have existing resources to send you, I am happy to conduct any research needed to create new ones. Reaching out for help is NOT a burden; if you have this question, it's likely that others do too. Your questions will always be leading to the creation and maintenance of communal knowledge that will benefit others in the future.
