Join us for the 2021 TransPride Pittsburgh Health and Wellness Conference, a virtual conference that will take place on October 14-16, 2021 via Zoom.

LGBTQIA2S+ people come from all walks of life, all races and ethnicities, all ages, all socio-economic statuses, all parts of the United States and from all over the world. A recent study tells us that gender non-conforming people make up almost 10% of the population, which is significantly more than prior, lower, estimates that were likely due to rampant underreporting. Of this vast transgender and gender diverse demographic, Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color continue to experience tremendous discrimination and inequality in healthcare.

This year's conference perseveres during a time when transgender and gender diverse individuals, particularly young people, are the targets of a coordinated legislative campaign that seeks to revoke their rights to participate in sports as their affirmed gender while also criminalizing and denying critical access to gender-affirming care. This conference rallies against these issues by centering the lives and lived experiences of the transgender and gender non-conforming community. This conference brings together not only community members but their families, allies, and healthcare professionals in a space of mutual learning through shared perspectives and experience.
 
Speakers will discuss various healthcare needs, transition and de-transition, affirming voice and communication, research, advocacy, legal issues, gender diversity, best practices, and cultural competencies when working with transgender, non-binary, and other gender diverse or intersex persons, and/or their caregivers.
