Some trans people seek medical and/or legal means to change their assigned birth sex or gender and some may simply identify or present themselves differently than their assigned birth sex or gender. UNC Charlotte utilizes the term "trans" as an umbrella and inclusive term for those that transgress or transition between gender norms. This could include, but is not limited to, those who identify as transgender, transexual, transvestite, individuals with an intersex condition, genderqueer or non-binary individuals.

But in many ways, that law now feels like it was a test case for the current phase of the fight over transgender rights — and a preview for the controversies dominating the news today.

And we’ve significantly expanded resources related to HIV/AIDS services and added resources that offer support services for trans folks. In recognition and appreciation of grassroots work led by trans folks across the South, this update also includes links to local resource guides. Our Providing Access to Trans Healthcare (PATH) Program also provides free case management, mental health services, and medical care for uninsured and underinsured transgender and gender diverse individuals. This Directory is not an exhaustive list of all trans-affirming providers in the area and may not contain providers or resources for every health issue.

Whether you’re someone in need of PATH services or you’re able to donate to this important program, your presence in our community and your involvement in this transformative initiative are deeply appreciated! Together, we are forging a brighter, healthier future for all, one that embraces diversity and inclusion. The city has lots of employment opportunities for trans people and is growing super fast.

No one should face barriers to getting the healthcare they need. We are also proud to report that provider participation has grown from our initial group of 13 providers to have included meeting participation to an average of 100 providers annually.

However, Charlotte Trans Health does not make any guarantees or promises as to your ability to access care, of the quality of care you will receive, the availability of LGBTQ+ resources to you, or that these providers accept any insurance plan. Before selecting a provider, you should ensure that the provider is a licensed healthcare professional and that the provider will accept your medical insurance (if any). The PATH program offers financial assistance to transgender and gender-diverse members of the Charlotte metro area for general and gender-affirming healthcare. The current program offers free case management, mental health services, medical care, and limited prescription coverage.

72% of enrolled participants reside in Mecklenburg County and are receiving ARPA funded support. 28% reside in surrounding counties and are receiving limited services through donations. At night, the city offers incredible nightlife with plenty of LGBT+ friendly venues. There’s really a lot to do and you can also attend drag brunches. Of course, it has a lot of fetishists and chasers but don’t let that deter you because it’s a huge app so you’re bound to also find positive experiences.

The moves Transcend is making will continue to elevate the trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming community towards the future! Amazing staff with people who have genuine passion for the cause. And if you’re too busy to meet in person then you can start slow by finding trans people online. In a nutshell, Charlotte is a treasure trove for meeting trans individuals.

For some, the process will be easy, while for others, it might take some time. As a trans woman, I felt pretty safe here during my visit—way less sketchy stuff than in other places I’ve been. Making friends might be a bit tricky at first, but it gets easier, especially if you hit up bars and join meetups. The crowd is mixed and often has trans men and women but usually everyone leans towards their thirties and up.
