Helplines in Taiwan.

Get support for gender and sexual identity from a LGBTQ-friendly hotline in Taiwan

Many people struggle with being confident in their sexual and gender identity. It can be hard to grapple with this because of the discrimination many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people still face today. Fortunately, there are 3 helplines in Taiwan that can support you if you relate to the following:

• Dealing with trauma related to your sexuality or gender
• Not wanting to put a label on your gender or sexuality
• A sense of wrongness about the gender you were assigned at birth
• Feeling like your sexuality is different from those around you
• Feeling frustrated and angry that your assigned gender at birth doesn't match who you are
• Wanting to change your physical appearance
• Anxiety around coming out to others
• Wanting to express your gender differently

As an LGBTQ person, you deserve to be accepted, respected, and loved for who you are. If you’ve been treated unfairly by others because of your gender or sexual identity, it’s normal to feel intense negative emotions. Loneliness, confusion, and thoughts of suicide are often experienced by LGBTQ people.

If you're experiencing problems because you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, help is available in Taiwan. You can reach out at any time and get connected to a caring LGBTQ-friendly volunteer or counselor. Helpline listeners will offer you respectful, affirming care no matter what you're going through.

If you think you might need support with your gender & sexual identity today, consider contacting a helpline in Taiwan for free, confidential help.
