A question has been received by email regarding the facilities available to LGBT+ people for someone relocating to Bath. The question was regarding a recommendation for a general practitioner aware of the unique needs of LGBTQ patients and trans women in particular, but this can be opened up to a much wider discussion.
Do you have recommendations of people or places who have been particularly accepting and helpful? Maybe the perfect hairdresser / barber or dentist? It would be great to be able to share these experiences both within the community here at University of Bath and with other people considering joining us.
I haven't lived in Bath for a while, but Safe Spaces Bath on Instagram publish a list of places that are openly and loudly queer and specially trans friendly 🙂
Matchbox salon (matchboxsalon.com) in Bath is very inclusive. Online booking asks for pronouns and whether you prefer to chat or sit quietly. Pricing based on the type of cut, no gender difference or reference. Little things that can make a big difference.
