The National Center for Transgender Equality has put up a blog for Cervical Health month, recognizing the importance of this issue for trans, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming people:

The post lists ways to prevent cervical cancer among trans men and gender non-conforming people, including tips to keep your own cervix healthy and advocacy items to ensure access to care. Check it out!
