#PinkFridays #LesbianVisibilityWeek Research shows that cisgender lesbian, bisexual and queer women are more likely to delay life-saving tests and treatment. This may be due among other factors to self-perception and real or perceived bias in the healthcare system. Ask your local #LGBTQ+ organisation about a welcoming healthcare provider near you to check in for screening guidelines. . . #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #GetScreened #SaveTheTatas #MoreThanPink #InclusiveCare #LVW2024 #LesbianVisibilityDay
