About transzorg.nl

An independent initiative by a trans woman, for everyone finding their way in Dutch trans care.

Mission

Why transzorg.nl?

Information about trans care is scattered, quickly outdated and often only in Dutch. transzorg.nl brings it together: current, with sources and a date on every page, in Dutch and English.

Editorial

How we work

  • Every page has sources, a "last checked" date and a date for the next check.
  • We use official sources: Zorginstituut, the quality standard, hospitals, insurers, government and community organisations.
  • We write everything in our own words and always say where a fact comes from. When we use information from another organisation, that organisation is listed in the sources.
  • Where something is uncertain, we say so.
  • The editors are volunteers, not doctors. AI helps with writing and translating; a person checks everything against the sources.
  • Pages with medical explanations have not yet been reviewed by a healthcare professional. This is stated at the top of those pages. Once a page is reviewed, you will see by whom (their role) and when.
  • The drawings are our own line drawings and symbols: adult, diverse and never explicit.
  • Spotted a mistake? At the bottom of every page there is "Something wrong?". You stay anonymous.
