Sovereignty-Affirming Practices for Trans + Gender-Nonconforming Patients

Your care is a sanctuary. This training empowers healthcare providers to match our good intentions with best practices.

A Workshop for Healthcare Providers with Camellia (they/she)

🌡️ The Crisis:
Trans patients are under attack—banned from lifesaving care, hunted in public spaces, and erased by legislation. As healers, we have a moral obligation to make our clinical interactions havens of safety and sovereignty in this storm.

❌ The Problem:
Most providers want to support trans patients but:

  • Fear "saying the wrong thing."

  • Lack trauma-informed frameworks for gender-diverse care.

  • Don’t realize how small slights (misgendering, invasive questions) compound systemic harm.

✨ This Workshop Will Empower You To:

  1. Communicate with Humility + Respect: Practice pronouns, intake forms, and language that affirm (not interrogate).

  2. Recognize + Interrupt Medical Trauma: Identify how cisnormativity shows up in your space (from paperwork to physical adjustments).

  3. Protect Patient Sovereignty: Navigate charting, insurance, and institutional barriers without compromising care.

🔥 Why This Matters Now:

  • Your intake form could be someone’s first safe space all week.

  • Street medics, herbalists, and bodyworkers may be trans patients’ ONLY healthcare access.
