TransEstrie

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, TransEstrie will address 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ equality-related needs and barriers. To do this, the organization will first prepare a plain-language guide for healthcare professionals on interpreting and applying the Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People (SOC) in Quebec. The guide will help healthcare professionals to adopt practices that are both consistent with the SOC and reflective of Quebec’s realities. Through this work, TransEstrie wishes to improve the provision of care to gender-diverse people. Second, TransEstrie will develop a multimedia tool based on the principle of the “human library” and the experiences of “photovoices.” This will promote subjects’ autonomy in their self-representation by encouraging them to express their agency and authority in their medical journey, and it will help humanize trans and non-binary people’s experiences.
