YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIf and when a transgender person decides to medically transition, whether that be through gender-affirming surgeries or hormone treatment, they have to interact with medical professionals and the healthcare world. ‘Informed consent’ is the growing model of care that respects trans people’s bodily autonomy to do what they desire with their treatment, while understanding the potential risks and benefits.
Doesn’t sound so radical, huh? But unfortunately, like “crisis pregnancy centers” or conversion therapy, the ability to find medical care that respects self-determination and freedom can difficult. That’s why Erin Reed created a map for people looking for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) without gatekeepers.
Informed consent is a two-way street between the patient and their doctor, but it centers on the belief that people know what decision is best for them. It’s crazy how freedom-lovers could justify standing in opposition to that…
Here’s a link to Erin’s map:
Erin Reed is an activist who tracks antitrans legislation all over the country also runs the a database for trans people trying to access genderaffirming healthcare. The map tracks informed consent hormone therapy clinics for trans people. Learn more and follow Erin on Twitter here
