By trans people, for trans people
We are building a community-led research programme dedicated to improving trans and non-binary healthcare.
The status quo is harming trans people
Trans healthcare research lacks funding
It is no secret that there is currently a huge gap in information on trans and non-binary healthcare – it's a go-to talking point used by those seeking to delegitimise trans existence. Yet, only 0.2% of healthcare research funding goes to projects improving trans and non-binary healthcare. Of these projects, around half focus on HIV and AIDS, leaving crucial aspects of trans and non-binary health overlooked.
Nothing about us without us
The lack of diversity in the research community itself remains a major problem with trans and non-binary researchers still being something of a rarity, even within the field of trans healthcare. Yet, it is the work of the research community that forms the basis of clinical practice and government policy. We are commited to a trans-led approach to research, ensuring that trans and non-binary voices are heard when shaping the design and delivery of trans healthcare.
