ATLAS’s Trans Patients Self Advocacy Discussion
About the event
Are you trans? Having a hard time advocating for yourself in our messed up medical system? Well, turns out a lot of us are struggling. But struggle is easier in solidarity. Join us on Saturday, November 21, from 2PM-4PM at the Ottawa Trans Library as we get together, chill, and talk together as peers about strategies for advocating for yourself in medical appointments. There will be snacks (vegetarian, gluten-friendly, lactose-friendly), music, and zines to help us in our discussion.
Hosted by the ATLAS Resource Navigation Working Group. If you’re able, please RSVP at ott.trans.resource.nav@proton.me, but don’t let this be an obstacle to attending. Feel free to reach out at same if you have any questions.
