Sexual and Gender Diversity Cancer Care Resource Guide
Queering Cancer (QC) uses the acronym LGBTQ2+ but we recognize that language evolves. We use “trans” to include all whose gender identity is different from sex assigned at birth (including genderqueer, non-binary, agender and all non-cis identities). The “+” denotes other included identities (e.g. asexual, demisexual, pansexual).
Resources are from third party sites and, while we have reviewed them for relevance, we do not endorse them. Some resources may contain outdated or medicalized language. Please report issues to webadmin@queeringcancer.ca. If you have a new resource to share, you can submit it on our Contact page.
For general cancer information the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cancer Information Service is a national, toll-free helpline available to everyone.
