Gender Affirming Care — Designing a Trans Informed Practice

This is a live lecture with Holly Ledbetter, a trans massage therapist and active advocate for better standards of post-op care for trans folks. Participants will learn how to create a trans-informed practice: create intake forms, treatment plans, and follow-up materials that affirm the identities and experiences of their trans clients. This course provides an introduction to not only gender-affirming care, but also trauma informed care and disability justice informed care, which all overlap in the trans community. Students will explore inclusivity in practice from intake form to follow up, and discuss common chief complaints and red flags.
