RSSH Seminar Series: Trans and gender diverse experiences within clinical sexual health services

The Reproduction, Sexualities and Sexual Health (RSSH) Research Group invites you to the second talk in their online seminar series, with a conversation on trans and gender diverse people’s experiences with sexual health services.

Information about and access to sexual health services is vital for everyone's health and well-being. Repeatedly, trans and non-binary people find that information about sexual health is not inclusive of gender-diverse groups and they often experience discrimination and stigma when trying to access sexual health services. 

In this session, we invite you to hear from trans and gender diverse peoples’ experiences of clinical services and engage in the discussion of what this means for policy and practice. 

Speakers: Dr Anastacia Tomson and Diana Moreno (facilitated by Dr Peter Keogh)
