Gendercast at Philly Trans* Health Conference 2013: CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

Gendercast will once again be attending the PhiladelphiaTrans* Health Conference and we are looking for a few of you fabulous listeners to participate with us!

We’re going to be tabling in the main conference area. Stop by to say hi, pick up some items, and maybe even chat with us for a bit on the mic about your experience at the conference or another topic, to air on Gendercast!  Also, Jesse will be co-presenting a workshop at the conference with Axil Cricchio.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS to help out with tabling!

If you’re a listener and would like to hang out with us, learn more what Gendercast is all about, and help us spread the word, we’d love to hear from you. You can sign up for one slot or a few at any point during the conference. 

You’ll get to meet other Gendercast listeners as well as Gilligan and Jesse (and maybe even give one of us a chance to break away and attend a workshop or two).  Gilligan will even be conducting some interviews on listeners’ experiences at the conference, so you’ll have a chance to be on air with Gendercast!


Contact us at gendercast@gmail.com to let us know if you’re interested.

Some basic familiarity with the podcast and a friendly face are all that is required. Even if you won’t have a chance to table with us, at least stop by and say hi! We look forward to meeting lots of you there!

Cheers,

Gilligan

Do trans* identified patients experience perceived discriminatory, non-competent, or paternalistic behavior and attitudes when accessing health care related to their gender identity, and does this negatively impact the how they access medical providers and utilize services?

Hello folks!

I’ve just opened up my survey around trans* healthcare experiences in the U.S. that recently got IRB approval! I hope that many of you will be able find some time to take this survey and share it with folks identifying along the trans* gender spectrum. The survey covers experiences with trans* specific and non-trans* specific health care providers, so whether you’re interested in hormones/surgery or not, your voice would be valued. With this survey I’m especially interested in capturing how people experience their trans* related health care if they identify outside male, female, FTM, and MTF boxes. Please Please Please, help me spread the word and make this survey accessible.

* It is completely confidential, and no identifiers will be collected, including your IP address. My overarching question is listed above. Just click on the question above and it should take you to the 10-15 minute questionnaire.

Thanks,
Sean Leão
