Beliefs
We believe that the movement to transform trans healthcare must be led by and for trans people, upholding our knowledge and agency.
We believe that our collective power is amplified by forging resilient alliances and partnerships from the local to the global level.
We believe that the struggle for trans health justice is inseparable from broader movements for queer, racial, economic, and gender justice.
