The importance of gender-affirming health care

Cait Lawrence (They/Them) identifies as being Queer/ Non-binary person who lives with three main conditions: Hyper Mobile Spectrum disorder, Functional Neurological Syndrome and Mental Health issues. Rimu Bhooi (They/Them) is Queer and Trans Non-binary, they have had endo symptoms for about a decade now, but only got diagnosed a year ago. It affects the entirety of their life.

Queer Disabled people are more likely to be misgendered in the healthcare system as they are accessing it more frequently than there Queer able-bodied counterparts. Both Cait and Rimu are currently fighting the good fight (along with others) to highlight the need to have gender affirming health care and support. October 2021 was the first time a nurse asked Rimu for their pronoun- something so simple, that meant so much.

Rimu and Cait are meeting for the first time to discuss the importance of gender-affirming health care and what changes could be made to include affirming healthcare into the healthcare system.
