"It is uncomfortable to be publically vulnerable with my story. I wish the statistics and research were enough to change the field of medicine for patients and physicians. I want people to care about the experience of their patients and colleagues enough to examine their own implicit bias and privilege without having to hear my traumalouge, but we aren’t there yet.

Crystal Beal is a family physician.

They share their story and discuss their KevinMD article, "A doctor for LGBTQ+ health needs."
