Life Outside The Binary
Nonbinary Transgender Information Centre

Do you have any resources for finding doctors who are competent in working with trans (specifically ftn or non-binary, ideally) patients?

I do not unfortunately, but i know (depending on where you live) there are usually websites to help find LGBT health care (like rainbowhealthontario.ca for ontario) and from there you should be able to find a number of clinics that do trans health care. 

granted not all clinics that do trans care list on websites like that, so tracking down health care can be a bit of an adventure, but usually if you call a clinic that doesnt have what you need they can at least refer you to other clinics they know of in the area.

when trying to find a gender therapist or doctor who is nonbinary-inclusive it’s perfectly ok to just call and ask. you’re allowed to ask prerequisite questions for anyone you’re considering taking on as a healthcare provider. so you would ask things like “have you ever worked with nonbinary/genderqueer patients before” or ask them their opinions on nonbinary transition and stuff like that. if they dont already know what nonbinary or genderqueer means (a lot of them use “genderqueer” primarily) than they probably aren’t the right person for you. 

I wish i could give you something that would save you going through a bunch of online listings and calling a bunch of clinics, but unfortunately there still arent a lot of organized nonbinary-specific resources like that.

good luck!
