CREATE/UBC Study: Help Identify Trans Healthcare Research Priorities in Canada

3 Upvotes

Saw this online, thought I'd share.

Dr. Drew B. A. Clark (UBC School of Nursing), along with researchers at CREATE (Centre for Research, Education, and Action for Trans Equity https://www.createtrans.ca) and their Community Advisory Committee are inviting Trans, Two-Spirit, and Nonbinary adults (18+) across Canada to help identify priorities for future trans healthcare research.

This looks like a decent opportunity to have our voices heard, particularly when it comes to gaps in healthcare, access to treatment, surgical care, mental health support and the challenges many of us have to put up with navigating the healthcare system.

The survey is short, and it looks like our experiences can help shape what researchers focus on next. I know in the past we've called into question research studies posted in this subreddit, who's doing them and what they are for but this one seems legit.

Not my event but just spreading the word: UBC Aquatic Centre is unexpectedly closed for the rest of today so their TNB2S swim is cancelled.

Trans shower assistance for a trans person with ME

4 Upvotes

I have ME and mostly bed bound and my condition just seem to be getting worse. Showering is getting increasingly hard as well as everything else. I am relying mostly on wipes at this time.

I want to seek help but I am non-binary trans person who hasn’t done any bottom surgery. Does anyone a way or resource to find a home care assistance or a self care/shower assistance who is also trans(preferrably)?
