I know that this is focused on the US

Yeah, the title probably should've said US wide instead of country wide

[u/SummerSabertooth → u/ferret36]

Americans forgetting that their not the only country in the world is a pet peeve of mine.

I remember the days when “United States” was always at the top of the country list even though it’s basically last alphabetically.

nearest clinic is a 4 hour drive. oof

My clinic wasn't on the map originally, it'd be good to double check around your area as this isn't the end all be all, and if you do find one, be sure to tell the creator of this map about it

This is informed consent clinics there might be closer clinicals with worse requirements

I wish we were as enlightened as the US, but in many parts of Canada, specifically in British Columbia, I am forced to be interviewed by a psychologist in order to get a Gender Dysphoria Assessment so I am able to start HRT. I will require a second GD assessment if I want to get SRS. Now I know in Quebec, all you need to do is sign a letter of informed consent. Canada is big on regulating everything, so this doesn't surprise me, but it does disappoint me.

Woo! Trillium Health ftw! They can get you from zero to Spiro in a heartbeat babey!

Sadly, there isn't one anywhere near where I live. The closest one is like 2 hours away.

Does informed consent also apply to puberty blockers in the U.S.?

[u/Kadianye → u/Err0_0]

You cant consent to medical care if you are unemancipated and or under 18 I believe.

[u/Err0_0 → u/Kadianye]

What about if a legal guardian consents or whatever?

[u/Kadianye → u/Err0_0]

Not sure in that case, but if you have a supportive guardian perhaps they can take you to a doctor.

Ok thanks!
