Depending on the methods they use, I may suggest trying other methods such as improving ad campaigns, increasing presence on social media, or setting up booths at PRIDE events. If the agency was already using several avenues of outreach, I would suggest surveying present clients and potential

    In Dean Spade’s book Normal Life, healthcare justice and systemic issues regarding gendered treatment and access to healthcare are discussed in depth, with a focus specifically on the effects of injustice and inaccessibility to transgender and intersex individuals.

However, they are much more…

Furthermore, patients are most likely going to internalize the stigmatized attitude in them. It is important for health care professionals to attend to a patient’s psychological needs as well as biological needs.…
