Recomend a forum

I would really like to see an LGBTQIA Medical Support Community.  These groups have specific needs that most likely are not being met in other support communities.  I think it could help with both physical medical issues, and mental issues specific to the LGBTQIA group .

Dysphoria, such as Gender and Body.  Forums for Trans specif surgeries, Gender Confirmation Surgery (Vaginoplasty,  Phalloplasty or Metoidioplasty), ancillary ones to GCS, orchiectomy, vaginectomyhy sterectomy, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, Facial Feminization Surgery, Breast removal (AKA Upper Surgery or Mastectomy), Chest Reconstruction, Breast Augmentation, Voice Feminization Surgery.  Forums for LGBTQIA mental health issues, support for coming out would be a big one.  Other ones would be less specific so perhaps a general forum where LGBTQIA individuals can discuss other issues that stem from being themselves.   Granted some of this is covered in other areas, but some is not.  So I was hoping to bring it all together.  And the user groups, well they seem not alive any more.  :-(  Thank you for your help.  :-)

Hi, otakugenx,

Thanks for your suggestion!  I see that you've already found some of our user groups that address LGBTQIA issues, and I hope you're benefiting from them.  What sorts of medical/psych forums would you like to see?
