Gender identity and expression are central to the way we engage in the world around us. This is certainly true for transgender and gender-expansive youth, whom many providers struggle to provide competent care.
This class will introduce basic gender literacy and clinical approaches to show allyship for trans youth. We will explore some common challenges, goals, and how best to support our clients through herbal or other gender affirming care.
