Bolstering Rights and Promoting Access to Healthcare for Gender-Diverse People
FY 2024-25 · 2024-10-01
Summary
Through this 30-month project, TransEstrie will address 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ equality-related needs and barriers. To do this, the organization will first prepare a plain-language guide for healthcare professionals on interpreting and applying the Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People (SOC) in Quebec. The guide will help healthcare professionals to adopt practices that are both consistent with the SOC and reflective of Quebec’s realities. Through this work, TransEstrie wishes to improve the provision of care to gender-diverse people. Second, TransEstrie will develop a multimedia tool based on the principle of the “human library” and the experiences of “photovoices.” This will promote subjects’ autonomy in their self-representation by encouraging them to express their agency and authority in their medical journey, and it will help humanize trans and non-binary people’s experiences.

Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de 30 mois, TransEstrie s’attaquera aux besoins et aux obstacles en matière d’égalité pour les communautés 2ELGBTQI+. Pour ce faire, l’organisme, dans un premier temps, réalisera un guide vulgarisé à l’attention des professionnel·les de la santé pour l’interprétation et l’application des standards de soins (SDS) en matière de santé trans en contexte québécois. Le guide aidera les professionnel·les à adopter des pratiques qui sont conformes aux SDS, mais également fidèles au contexte québécois. TransEstrie souhaite ainsi améliorer la prise en charge des soins aux personnes de la pluralité des genres. Dans un deuxième temps, TransEstrie développera un outil multimédia basé sur le principe de la « bibliothèque vivante » et de l’expérience des « photovoices », qui favorisera l'autonomie dans la représentation de soi en encourageant l'expression de l'agentivité et du pouvoir d'agir sur son parcours médical, tout en permettant d'humaniser les parcours des personnes trans et non-binaires.
