<p>Whatever solution comes out of this request, I strongly advise to
describe it on the wiki with a clear caution to who-ever wants to
apply it in countries where there is legislation or general
non-acceptance of transgender it can endanger peoples lives.<br>
I don't think we want an enthusiastic mapper who is not aware of
this to be held responsible for a doctor or a transgender patient
who visits such a health facility to be lynched by a mob or
en-prisoned for life. Same as it is very delicate to map
facilities that provide abortion or euthanasia services.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi all,
I saw a tweet¹ with a Google Map mash-up, and I don't think one can make a map like that in OSM (right?). So, how can we tag that a medical facility follows “Informed Consent” for HRT & healthcare for trans* people?²
`informed_consent=yes/no` on objects with `amenity=clinic` (or `healthcare=clinic`) seems obvious. But it could be misleading. In theory, all medical facilities follow informed consent for treating their patients. Except many don't for trans* people, a double standard.³ So what's a good tag? (I searched and I can't find anything now, or did I miss something?)
My current favorite is `healthcare:trans:informed_consent=yes/no`, but some other ideas are: `lgbt:informed_consent=yes/no`? `trans_hrt:informed_consent=yes/no`? `trans:hrt:informed_consent=yes/no`? `trans*:informed_consent=yes` (yes a literal * 😈)? `trans:informed_consent=yes/no`? But I am not sure.
To preempt some possible questions: I think there are many places which do this, but this isn't the main focus. e.g. in the USA, Planned Parenthood provides healthcare as per , and they primarily focus on family planning. So we can't use `healthcare:speciality=*`, it would have to be a separate tag. As for verifiabilty, you could ask a venue if they follow this system, or they might publish that they do.
I think healthcare tagging in OSM is, unfortunately, a bit messy, but I don't know a lot about it.
What do yous think? Any ideas, suggestions, feedback? Anything I got wrong?
