This seminar will provide tools to assess and disrupt the impact of healthcare discrimination, microaggressions, and other minority stressors on TNBGE persons’ wellbeing, clinical presentation, and engagement in care. Participants will also learn how to assess and minimize the impact of cisnormativity, cissexism, and/or internalized transphobia on clinical practice and advocacy efforts.
