Christine Jorgensen: LGBT+ history month

Marsha P. Johnson lead an incredible life as an activist. Marsha was highly marginalised as a black trans woman throughout her life. She also faced prejudice for sex work, mental illness, being HIV positive and being homeless for much of her adult life. For many years, she was a highly influential figure in LGBT+ rights activism, holding a significant impact on the Stonewall riots of 1969, a pivotal event in queer history. What better way to celebrate LGBT+ History Month than with this queen?

Panorama

Gender shouldn't affect our health, but it does. Gender can impact our access to healthcare, health promotion through education, and the services we can access. Not only that, but gender can influence the conditions we are more likely to have, and the outcomes for our health following treatment. Among trans people, these gender-based health inequalities are only greater in range and severity. In this episode, Ella explains some of the more common health inequalities faced by transgender people. This episode also offers ways in which allies both those working in healthcare services, and those not, to minimise this disparity.

Health Inequalities

For Mental Health Awareness Week this year, I want to draw our attention to the links between gender dysphoria and mental illness. With this years MHAW theme being body image, we consider the aspects of gender dysphoria related to body image and how this can impact on mental wellbeing, and how to support people experiencing mental illness.
