Yes, it's this pervasive Catch-22:

Tell us why you need healthcare, because if you're not suffering from anything, we have no role in lifting a finger to help you. And unless your suffering is significant, we won't prioritize your treatment nor recommend any interventions we consider major or at all risky. What, you say you're suffering? In a major way? In queer ways that are intertwined with the rest of your humanity? Why do you come to us expecting us to cure you? What unrealistic magical thinking is that? Go cure yourself. See a conversion therapist.

etc. etc. into infinity.
