The Trans Health Platform is an initiative which brings together trans people, health care providers, and organizations.
The goal of this platform is to depathologize trans and non-binary identities and to improve trans health care in Sweden.
Trans identities are not a pathological condition that needs to be cured or corrected. We shouldn’t need to prove who we are to any “expert“ for us to get the hormones we want and need. This project believes in self-determination. We are the experts of ourselves and we are capable of making our own decisions about our bodies.
Our objectives:
- Shorten the waiting time for a first appointment from 2 years to two weeks
- Make space for the needs of nonbinary folks
- Eliminate the need for a psychiatric diagnosis to have access to hormones and surgeries
