Trans-Health Conference
|
Friends Meeting House, 4th & Arch Streets
Philadelphia, PA 19106 |
Philadelphia's Fourth Annual Trans-health Conference proudly offers a space for transpeople and our allies, partners, and providers to come together to re-envision what health means for trans-folks.
This year's theme, "Evolving Health, Defining Wellness" celebrates how health care for transgender people has evolved over the past 30 years—from Christine Jorgensen and a highly medicalized model to today’s more fluid definitions of gender and more flexible choices for transgender health.
It also looks to the future, as we continue to refine our definition of wellness both as individuals undergoing various types of transitions and as a community with needs as diverse as our perspectives. In defining wellness comprehensively, we call attention to the emotional, physical, spiritual, and social aspects of our beings. We also acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the many transgender people, supporters, and advocates who have come before us and have helped us arrive where we are today—as well as the younger generations of transgender people who are creating our future.
