The Philadelphia Trans Health Conference is celebrating its 10th year this weekend. This event will bring trans-identified people and allies from all over the country to the Pennsylvania Convention Center for three days of educational workshops, socializing, and support. Workshops will cover everything from hormone therapy to creating a trans-friendly environment in the workspace. The conference is family-friendly; there will be separate workshops for trans youth, as well as a pool party for families with children. All are welcome at this event; there is no registration fee.
The Trans Health Conference has been run by the Mazzoni Center since 2006. The Mazzoni Center provides health care to the Philadelphia LGBTQ community. The Equality Pennsylvania team is proud to support the conference & plan to participate everyday as a vendor. We’ll also be registering people to vote, providing consignment-quality clothes for donations, and doing some political organizing! Come talk to us about opposing an amendment to define marriage as solely between a man and a woman, the recent change to PennDOT’s gender marker policy, and several other ways that you can support the LGBTQ community. Also, one of our former interns will be hosting an all-day legal clinic.
With so many different activities planned, the 10th annual Trans Health Conference truly has something for everyone. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, you still have time to register online at www.trans-health.org. We hope to see you there!
