Going into a hospital setting can be intimidating, even if it is just for your annual check-up. If you are nervous, it can be hard to remember everything your doctor said, or even what you wanted to talk about in the first place! These tips for talking with your doctor from the National Institute on Aging - NIH can help you make the most of your appointment.

Have you ever left your doctor’s office realizing you forgot to ask an important question? It's always good to decide what questions are most important for your doctor, so you don't miss out on discussing them. Find more tips to help make the most of your doctor's visit: https://go.usa.gov/xFqFa

Happy ! Most of us have been socialized to conceptualize gender and s*x as binary--consisting of two options: man or woman, male or female. Many of us have learned to and personally identify with one or the other. However, many of us exist outside that binary--identifying with one, multiple, or no gender. Hence the term non-binary!

Recognize the diversity of gender identities in your daily life, by introducing yourself using your gender pronouns (he, she, they, etc...) and asking people for theirs. Some folks prefer you simply refer to them by name, so be sure to ask for that too! ;)

It’s ! It’s important that we validate, support, and appreciate those who identify as non-binary. We at MHASF are here for you 💙

June is Pride month, but Pride would not exist without the Black community. ✊🏿

Pride began as a result of the Stonewall Riots, which took place in 1969. A gay bar, known as the Stonewall Inn, was frequently raided by police officers. At this time, cops were allowed to arrest and harass gay and trans people. The night the Riots began, those present at the Inn decided to fight back against the police. It is believed the riots were led by trans women of color Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera. Johnson threw a brick that commenced the Riots.

From that moment on, the LGBTQ+ community and their allies began to protest. For the next six days, people protested for the rights, protection, and end of discrimination towards gay and trans people. On the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a celebration took place, which would continue yearly and come to be known as "Gay Pride."

Without strong, Black individuals, like Marsha P. Johnson, Pride would not be what it is today. We must continue to educate ourselves on topics such as LGBTQ+ Pride, and stand up for equal rights—especially for the rights of the LGBTQ+ and the Black community. ❤️💙💛🧡💚💜
