Asking a favour
Jul. 18th, 2016 09:18 amTomorrow lunchtime (I know this is late notice sorryyyyy if it helps any I haven't really done my other prep yet either) I have the opportunity to provide a high-profile medical school with advice on how to make their OBS&GYNAE teaching more inclusive of and welcoming to trans patients.
I think I've got the factory-default uterus setup pretty well covered, but I want to make sure that I am representing (as best I can) trans people who *don't* have that set of factory-default anatomy, and their/your concerns about accessing gynaecological health care.
If you would be willing to drop me a line about your thoughts, in comments here or in private message or in e-mail, I would be super grateful. <3

Date: 2016-07-19 12:06 am (UTC)I would like to be asked about my reproductive goals, and have that inform my treatment. (Since my reproductive goals are p. much "NO." this means that ovary and uterus removal and other things which make childbearing impossible or difficult would be A-OK with me.) Since PCOS affects things like T levels and facial/body hair, I would like respectful questions about those aspects of my desired gender/gender presentation, again used to inform my treatment.
