The North Wiltshire group was launched in December 2025 by Helen!

Everyone is welcome at meetings and you will find that they are a friendly and informal atmosphere.

For group information please get in touch with Helen using the contact form below.

Hi there!  I’m Matt and welcome to the page for the Pituitary Foundation’s LGBTQIA+ group!  I’m 26, identify as trans (AMAB) and have had a diagnosed pituitary condition from age 17 - Panhypopituitarism - caused by two germinoma brain tumours located on my pituitary and pineal glands.  Due to all this and my increased risk of regrowth if starting any affirming hormone treatment I have decided to stay on testosterone injections for my physical health despite its impact on my identity.

For the group I try to keep every meet-up very relaxed, open and informal, aiming to create a group where you feel supported and surrounded by people who understand what you’re going through!

Meet-ups vary, sometimes we have a speaker addressing LGBTQIA+ specific issues, topic focussed chats, games, special seasonal meet-up events, and more!  If you’d like a bit more information, join our next meet-up or have a suggestion for a meet-up feel free to email me at: [email protected]

Everyone who identifies under the LGBTQIA+ banner with a pituitary condition is welcome to join.

We also have a WhatsApp group which you can join, I’ll make a bit of time at the end of each meet-up where I can add you so if you’d like to join just attend one of the meet-ups and I can get you added to the group!

I’m not LGBTQIA+ but am an ally, can I join the meet-ups?

For any allies who’d like to join meet-ups I appreciate your support and while these meet-ups will remain exclusive to LGBTQIA+ people I am hoping to host a one-off larger meetup open to allies as well in the future!

I am LGBTQIA+ and strongly suspect I have a pituitary condition but have not been diagnosed with one, can I join the group?

This group is currently only open to LGBTQIA+ people with a confirmed pituitary condition.
