Grappling with gender and health
Jack Lopez, University of Bradford
Jack will explore what happens when an individual’s gender or sexuality diverges from the expected categories of UK health services, and the inequalities that ensue, particularly in the cases of trans+, intersex and gender diverse individuals.
