— we all work here on purpose. 🤭
Jokes aside, it is our tremendous privilege to care for our patients and we take your trust in us seriously. We receive MUCH more positive feedback from patients and our community at large than nonsense like this^ and we’re so proud to provide all of our services, including and especially abortion and gender affirming care. 💜
Say what you want — we’ll still be here fighting for the right to bodily autonomy for ALL PEOPLE. 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans folks and gender affirming care are under attack - NOW is the time to speak up! 🏳️‍⚧️
In 2025 alone, NH introduced 11 pieces of anti-trans legislation, passing both HB377 and HB712, which together ban all new gender affirming care for folks under the age of 18 statewide beginning Jan 1, 2026. 124 anti-trans bills (so far) have been passed across the country. The US Supreme Court upheld a gender affirming care ban impacting trans youth in United States v Skirmetti in June 2025, AND an executive order from the Trump administration mandates that any facility providing gender affirming care to folks under the age of 19 will be stripped of all federal funding, leading to many patients already receiving care to lose access. 👎
We know it can feel super overwhelming to be trans or gender nonconforming right now with so many transphobic policies, laws, and conversations, but here's what we know:

❤Gender affirming care is safe, effective, and lifesaving healthcare. It is also evidence-based and rooted in clinical research.

❤Trans, nonbinary, and gender diverse folks of ALL ages deserve access to any and all healthcare without barriers.

❤When someone tells us who they are, we should simply believe them.

❤Lovering will NEVER stop fighting for trans folks and their right to live authentically and make choices about their bodies and their lives.
What actions can we all take to make the world safer for trans folks? 🧐

💪Vote in local and federal elections!

💪Make your voice heard by contacting your government representatives about issues that are important to you!

💪Support pro-trans organizations like Lovering, 603Equality, The Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Outright, Equality Health Center, and more!

💪TALK to your friends, family, enemies, frenemies, FWBs, etc. about trans rights and challenge anti-trans comments and actions whenever possible (ESPECIALLY if you're cisgender and have the privilege of speaking up safely)!

Trans folks deserve care, safety, and joy. We will never stop fighting for trans folks and their right to gender affirming care. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

We’re tackling hormonal birth control stigma for today’s 👊
Each person has the absolute right to decide what they do or don’t do with their body, full stop. However, there is a LOT of stigma about hormonal birth control that is causing real harm to folks who deserve to understand the full spectrum of pregnancy prevention options without assumptions or judgment! 💜
While hormonal birth control methods won’t be the right fit for everyone, benefits can include:

💕Effective pregnancy prevention
💕Regulate periods/improve heavy or painful periods
💕Improve acne
💕Treat and/or manage conditions like PCOS and endometriosis

…and more based on individual life factors! 🤯
It’s important to make sure that any information you take in or share is accurate and evidence based. If you’re looking for more info about any and all birth control methods, check out orgs like Bedsider or EukiApp! 💻
Everyone deserves access to practical, destigmatized, and accurate s*xual health info. You can always give us a call at (603) 436-7588 to schedule an appointment to talk through your options for pregnancy prevention! 🌈

Looking for an alternative to "No Nut November"? We've got some ideas! 💦
There is longstanding stigma around s*xual pleasure, but did you know that or***ms can actually be good for both physical and mental health?! 🤯 They can increase blood circulation to the pelvis, PLUS release positive neurochemicals like oxytocin that can help to regulate emotions, improve depression/anxiety symptoms, and just generally make you feel good. Some people even find that or***ms provide pain relief! 💜
Whether you're nutting partnered, solo, or not at all this November, we wish you the space and freedom to exercise your bodily autonomy! 💪 Looking for practical and destigmatized info about s*xual health, including pleasure? Feel free to give us a call to schedule an appointment, or to chat with our educator. We've also got self pleasure kits available for FREE, so if you're not sure where to start, feel free to pick one up at the center or at an outreach event. Happy nutting! 🥜

POV👀: you’re at your STI screening appt at Lovering
All types of s*x are normal, and you deserve to have all of your s*xual health needs addressed! 💜 There’s never any stigma or assumptions about s*xual history and experiences.
Generally, STI screening can include a urine screening, blood screening, or screening with swabs (throat, va**nal, a**l) depending on the types of s*x you have as well as other individual factors. 🧪 STI screening is typically recommended for s*xually active folks every 3 months or with every new partner. ☺️

Going to Bone Town this Halloween? 💀 Stock up on safer s*x supplies! 🎃
👻External condoms (worn on the p***s) protect against both STIs AND pregnancy! You can use them for va**nal, a**l, or oral s*x.

👻Internal condoms (worn inside the va**na or a**s) protect against both STIs AND pregnancy! You can use them for va**nal or a**l s*x.

👻Dental dams (held over the v***a or a**s) protect against STIs during oral s*x!

👻Lube helps to reduce friction and discomfort and can make s*x more pleasurable!
