Transgender with Endometriosis

Anyone else here trans or non binary? Been feeling a bit isolated after the recent news coverage of endometriosis just hammering home how little recognition there is of trans masculine folks who have to deal with endometriosis.

Also got a 2nd laparoscopy upcoming and not particularly looking forward to it 😬

So sorry I can’t relate to your situation but it must be extremely difficult for you. Hopefully this community is of some help and support x

Ah - that sucks. I’m not trans but I am queer and not particularly femme, and even that has set me into a rage spanning years about the medical establishment and who they seem to think their ideal patient is and how bad they are at dealing with anyone who doesn’t fit.

Might be worth contacting Endometriosis UK and seeing if they know of a trans support group or if they can set one up?

Hi, I’m trans! I’m 20, pre-T, been out five years and got diagnosed with endometriosis 5 weeks ago at my first lap and got the coil fitted as well. Have you got the coil?

Hi!!! Sorry this is so late but just want to say that if you don't know it already you should check out the endo knows no gend-o facebook group - I've found it so so so helpful in terms of advice to do with stuff relating to having endo and being trans/queer, as well as gender-affirming support.

Not what you're looking for?
