I would ask that you caption and audio-describe this and other videos so that they're accessible to persons who are Deaf or Hard-of-hearing and persons who are blind or vision impaired.

I always ask my docs' office to add "partnered" as a choice along with married, divorced, widowed, single. What the heck? If no one asks, not many will tell.

This looks great and I think the training of the NY healthcare providers will be very useful. My only critcism would be that once again, as is so common, there seems to be no mention or representation of bisexuals. Bisexuals can also have a very difficult time at the doctor/obgyn and there is a LOT of mistrust, misguided opinion and hostility that can be directed towards bi people generally, as well as at in medical provision. Part of the issue is bi-invisibility, such as in the video above.

Are there no Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or blind persons who are LGBTQ? I only ask because the video, here on YouTube and on your website, aren't accessible.
